| Excuse my ignorance, but by the "front" neck do people mean the one closest to the player, or closest to the audience? and is the usage 100% consistent? I sometimes think it isn't in some of the posts I read, but it may just be me being dumb... |

| Although it's possibly not consistent in its usage, I do believe that the accepted standard terminology is front=closest to audience, back=closest to player. |

Jon called it the way we usually did.

| If it is a "tiered" guitar, you could refer to them as "top" and "bottom".... |

| It all depends on which side of the guitar you're standing at... |

If you're sitting with your back to the audience, would the back neck be the front neck?

No, the front neck would be the back neck!  |

| If we're talking about The Man With Two Heads, is the front neck Rosie Grier or Ray Milland? |

All are the wrong terminology; I believe:
outside, inside, & center then there would be little doubt.

I agree with Rick. Inside, middle, and outside is the easiest to understand.

If it's a single neck w/ a 25" scale, would that make it a "long neck?"
If the guitar has been nearly gigged to death, I supposed you could always call it a "rough neck."
And, if the guitar is of a primary color that is not green, nor blue, then I suppose at least one of the necks could be referred to as a "red neck." |

Since I play Triple-Neck Steel, I start closest to me and call them #1 – #2 – #3. Back¹-Middle²-Front³-

| You can also name your necks by their tuning. |

| Well, if you tuned the INSIDE neck in A, the MIDDLE neck in B, and the OUTSIDE neck in C, you COULD call them A B & C. Or if you're ROMAN CATHOLIC, you could name them I II & III !!!! |
