Adding back neck to single on double cabinet

Ever happen?
I have an Fessenden SD-10 that I love, and always wanted to have Jerry put the back neck and pedals/levers on it.
thanks,
Drew Howard

I have an '88 Emmons LeGrande that started life as an SD-10. I bought it from Ricky Davis as a D10 and he told me that he and Gary Carpenter put the C6 neck on it. Other than later model bellcranks on the newer neck, I really can't tell a difference looking underneath and it plays and sounds great.
Maybe Ricky will chime in on the degree of difficulty here...seems it wouldn't be something that you'd do in a couple of hours, but obviously it can be done (at least on a LeGrande
)

Drew it would be a piece of cake for Jerry to do that for you if he had the time.
Me and Gary Carpenter's project that Bill Terry spoke of was a huge undertaking....as the cross rods in a Emmons from that era; are not to be taken out...so I won't even go into what we did....but it turned out super great....and did not change the tone or Mechanics/workability on that Emmons Bill Terry now owns....and which is one of the best sounding playing all-pull Emmons I've ever played.
Go for it Drew....you'll love that stability of your guitar with two necks on it.
