Clearly it helps that he's the guy holding it, but damn Fender have made a double-neck cool.

Haha, I was expecting a comment along these lines.

New Failure and Autolux are the things of my dreams...

I need to work harder tracking down the first one. I've never not enjoyed a Laner-associated album except Mechanical Forces of Love.

The offset means you could go with a very lightweight body wood like Paulownia and not have it be too neck-dive-y. Look at where the strap button is compared to the Jazzy neck -- it puts a lot of the lower neck on the body side of the balance. Can't say how that one is actually built, but I would have tried to engineer it that way.

When the frak are we gonna get a proper XII reissue, anyway? I mean, in a Squier model would be ideal for my broke ass, but at all even.

Yeah, I had heard about that. It sounds pretty damned good to me. I dug most of the stuff on his Feersum Ennjin album too.

Saw Qotsa last night, he played this on two or three songs but I never saw him touch the 6 string neck... I definitely could have missed it but isn't that the whole point of a double neck? Here's a crappy pic.
