Hey, Nigel...that ugly sparkley thing is a Gretsch. I bought it as a lark...had a "rock-a-billy" job for a nearby philharmonic event. Only one hour, so it wasn't that bad. Rock-a-billy folks often play Gretsch, so I got a single neck and a "Bo Diddley". Then, I couldn't resist the double. Wanted to be as tacky as possible. Pretty useless, particurlarly with the two Bigsby tailpieces. Can tune the longer neck as a 6 string bass guitar (a-la-Duane Eddy, Rawhide, etc.) or as a baritone.

Fun toys for VERY OLD boys...
