My double neck is going to have a baritone 12 on it. I'm a little nervous how it's going to turn out. Supposedly they should be putting it all together now but EGC time is in a different space/time continuum.

Looks like Gentry Densley's EGC, except it appears a normal scale instrument and Gentry tunes below the bass register, that kind of tuning wouldn't be possible on this. What gives?
I came across this:
http://www.cvltnation.com/eagle-twin-live-photo-essay/

It sure seems to be the very same guitar. I've searched high and low to find out what he tunes to, but haven't ever read anything other than what you said: "below the bass register..." I'm starting to think it's just tuned in regular old drop A or something and that his amps carry most of the tone :idk: Just a thought. If they start making Hex guitars and he'd be willing to make an extended scale model, then I'm fucking getting one. No questions about it.

Edit: In some of the photos, the low strings certainly look thick as fuck.....

It's an .080 at best, I'd say.

He'll probably get his before I get my EGC.

That's over 2 octaves below a standard bass I believe. Is it just a Torche style "bomb string"?
