BFR Double Neck for Joe Bonamassa

Here is the latest creation for Joe B. Less than a month ago Derek went to see him and he asked if we could make a double neck based on the Y2D...he wanted it cherry sunburst and one neck a baritone and the other a regular guitar. We asked Steve Morse for his blessings and here is the guitar. Props to all to get this done from idea to reality in a very short time. He will have it in time for his sold out show at London's Royal Albert Hall gig. Enjoy!

A baritone and a regular guitar would be super.

That's cool! An odd choice, having a regular and a baritone together, though it sounds like both will be tuned differently. Nice job!
