The doubleneck Strat thing has a metal fretless fingerboard on the lower neck - it also had a Fernandes Sustainer installed, which makes some sense on a fretless instrument, but personally I'd rather it on a single necked instrument.
I think the metal fingerboard was inspired by Vigier Guitars who employ a delta metal (their own alloy) fingerboard on their fretless instruments.
The Brian May guitar was actually on the Brian May Guitars stand so it must be an official guitar, although possibly (and hopefully) a one-off. |

The best thing about that Brian May guitar was its advertizing line; "In Space, No-one Can Hear You Solo."
As for the strange double-neck, I do like the freeze-frame of the two EMOs gesticulating their opinion of the guitar in the time-honoured, Anglo-Saxon method. But was this approval or disapproval? Wish you'd had a camcorder, glw. |

Ebay auction says:
'Please forward any questions to: gpudleiner2@yahoo.com'
Umm... too tempting.
I wonder if it's a signature model?

| Oh yes, there's been a whole bunch of those carved Strats on eBay from the same seller for a while now. No-one is buying them, so he keeps re-listing them. Seems, he doesn't take that as a hint. |
