Brian, when you're ready for the double neck, let me know. Here's a custom double 6-8 with George L pickups. Bob

Never made a three, but if a double can be made, it's not difficult to make a triple or quad. Simply a matter of more wood, more glue, more parts, more work, bigger case, longer time, more money. What kind of wood do you like? Bob

Hi! I have a left-handed Allen Melbert 8 string console tuned to C6 (#201). I waited patiently and was delighted when it arrived. I love it.
