O/T Friday night is music night.....

[Brin]

....what are you listening to at the moment?

Here's a blast from the past, a little 'Badfinger'

[Brin]

A pleasant Christopher Cross rarck, probably is best one.

Does anyone know what type of guitar he's playing? You don't many of those.

Going on the pick up/controls layout it looks like a Fender double neck. Bear in mind that these 'turns' have such influence for the manufacturers to knock up special versions for them.

Cheers for that pal.

Apologies, EO. I didn't see your reply when I wrote mine.

No worries - and thanks for the extra info. Hadn't realised the Eagles link. Wonderful choon.

Both have provided good information, thanks. I bet it will have also enlightened a few more on here.

Brin, it's a double necked, solid body guitar made by Fender. I think it's a Stratocaster/Esquire combo model but hard to tell. The upper neck has 12 strings; the lower one 6. It allows the player to offer two different sounds in one song without changing guitars. 12 string guitars give you that full jangly sound. (The strings are arranged in six sets of two with the three sets of bass strings an octave apart to produce that sound.) The 6 string neck then allows the more typical rock music sound.

This type of guitar is not used that much (and C. Cross just seems to use the 12 string neck in this song, though he may use both necks in others that he played that evening...)


This double neck guitar was famously used by Don Felder when he played lead on "Hotel California" for The Eagles. The 12 string for the intro and verses and the 6 string (in a duet with Joe Walsh) for the amazing instrumental break.

CT, funnily enough I was awaiting your reply to this and you haven't failed me. You have an amazing insight into the guitar world and you haven't disappointed me. Some great information there, thank you Sir.
