“The Definitive Guide To The Elusive 1958-1963 Gibson Hollowbody Doubleneck”

@abalonevintage 'Abalone Vintage' Eric Ernest stops by Gruhn Guitars to show off and discuss a range of wonderful double necks ably and lovingly captured by Homeskoolin's good ol' Uncle Larry aka Tom Bukovac, in this wide-ranging discussion of things Gibson double neck.

Not only a compendium of information, but the video is bookended by the tale of Eric's recently acquired 61, the one that started his quest and continued fascination with double necks. A 42 year hunt finally arrived at a satisfying conclusion!

Enjoy!

One of the guitars featured is a 1937 Gibson ESH-150 Gibson Double Neck guitar, said to be the first Gibson solid body electric guitar ever made.

Its a real shame Eric no longer participates on The Les Paul Forum he was flamed by someone that knows a whole lot less - This is also my concern of Facebook - Although other members are also missing this is a real shame - A lot of knowledge has not returned don't think they will this Facebook nonsense - has sealed the fate of this Forum it is now up to the anchor members to keep this vibrant - The Guitar Galaxy must stay in orbit - well leave the lights on for you to find your way back !

No fate but what we make!

Let's all do our part to keep it rolling.

Totally, TOTALLY agree with George!

These are among the best electric guitars I've ever heard

I'd like to see them build a single neck six string hollow with a spruce top. Like a hollow SG. Maybe the ES-G? Some will say that the Johnny A model was close to that. I'm not of that opinion.

Buk laid hands on another one at today's visit to CME; this time, a 58:

He was smiling. Let's see if that one follows him home.
