Eight-neck guitar
by oldschooldoom Thu Mar 22, 2012 10:25 pm
Metal band looks ridiculous playing eight-neck guitar
As if emerging from an Eric Clapton nightmare or a "Spinal Tap" dream
comes the Rock Ock, the world's only fully playable eight-neck
instrument. Watch here as Fuse invites New York metal band Biohazard to
take this thing for a spin. It's an apt choice of bands given that the
guitar appears to have undergone some kind of unfortunate genetic
mutation. The 40-pound, 51-string Rock Ock was designed by the guy who
created the iconic AC/DC logo and built by DGN Custom Guitars for the National Guitar Museum.

That's totally silly. Although I'd get a double-neck or even a triple-neck with two basses and the third neck a 12-string clean channel.

Cool, but totally useless. I've never seen a guitar with more than four necks.

Haha
There's something very wrong about a bunch of guys playing the same guitar together.... "get a room!"

Two words about how "original" or groundbreaking this thing is....RICK NEILSEN....

Yup, Rick Nielson from Cheap Trick, did this in the 70's or maybe 80's.
Not original.

Yep, Rick would play 2, 3, 4 and 5 neck guitars on stage.
