I suggest that the section on double neck guitars in Electric_guitar#Types of electric guitar be moved here
Apparently there are some people who actually play both necks at once, usually focusing on classical piano music, or other scores that would utilize more than one neck. I've found at least three people who play two guitar necks at once, and one of them uses a double neck guitar for the feat. The following people are (along with webpages and samples of their playing):
Adam Fulara (adam.fulara.com) he plays a double neck guitar http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8420696827037680015 http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5038090482484670396
Zack Kim (www.zackkim.com) he plays two separate guitar necks at once http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZpD0btOZx8&eurl= http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUK5AF1f_CU&mode=related&search=
Stanley Jordan he plays two separate guitar necks OR plays one guitar neck with both hands http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3956267841830506346&q=Stanley+Jordan http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7942029277711475397&q=Stanley+Jordan
I don't have the expertise to properly investigate the actual useage of both necks on a double neck guitar, and these three individuals are all I could find in terms of this style of play. According to Stanley Jordan's wikipedia article, he invented the technique all three of them are using. I think that at least Adam Fulara should be mentioned in the double neck guitar article, and all three (along with anyone else people can dig up who plays like this) should either be mentioned in the double neck article or the main guitar article. What do you say? 22:25, 7 Jan 2007
Dan ar Bras played both necks at once on "The Sea's Lamentation". 85.158.139.99 (talk) 09:09, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
Not once has Michael Angelo Batio Played a Double Neck. He Plays a Double AXE. I will remove his name from the list promptly.
I distinctly remember seeing and playing a double-necked guitar that combined a 6 string electric and 6 string acoustic. I do not see that type mentioned in this article though. --72.24.65.107 (talk) 19:22, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
Yes, the list in the article is not the best we could have, and I tried to include some references some time ago. Before there were none at all. I don't know why Slash is being removed all the time since he played several songs, most notable "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" and other GN'R songs as well as some with Velvet Revolver. Additionally he didn't only use the classic Gibson, but also this one. Paul Gilbert is quite famous for his Ibanez signature doublenecks.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] --Avant-garde a clue-hexaChord2 23:09, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
Your telling me that Buckethead is a notable user, more so than Slash, get real. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ancientmarineruk (talk • contribs) 22:32, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
I edited the doubleneck bass entry - doublenecks with both bass and guitar necks are actually substantially more common than purely bass doublenecks, and not more rare. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.244.76.233 (talk) 13:18, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
Considering that guitars are now made with so many more necks than two, I would suggest changing the title of the article to "Multi-neck Guitar", and having searches for "double neck guitar," "triple neck guitar," etc. redirect there.
Also, the article states that guitars have been made with three, four, and five necks. In fact guitars have also been made with -six- necks, and the article should probably be updated to reflect this:

I just changed the title, as just now I realized my power to move page titles. I did. I.P. (talk) 23:29, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
As regards the the "citation needed" label for the Ibanez 'Lawsuit' guitars, info can be found at: http://www.guitarattack.com/destroyer/lawsuit.htm I have added the citation to the page. Highonhendrix (talk) 05:12, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
Regarding Elvis in the "Notable users" I think we need some citation. I don't recall Elvis ever using a Double Necked Guitar. (Dofis (talk) 08:34, 21 November 2009 (UTC))
(moved from main article)
These have been around longer than you realise, an early player can still be seen on Youtube, if you seek : Country Joe Maphis, who was a good east coast based crossover country player . He backed many acts and played alongside Johnny Cash, Gene Vincent, Rick Nelson and Eddie Cochran amongst others, on the now famous Hadley Town Hall Partys. ( see these also on youtube) These were staged country shows televised to the public one evening a week in the late 1959 and the early 1960's. Country Joe Maphis is reputed to have had one of the the first widely seen double guitars, if not the original double neck made for him, with his own name inlaid in full across both necks of the guitar, to advertize himself. Nothing is new in rock and roll. He was a very proficent guitarist in his own right and has reputedly cut one of the fastest guitar songs of all time. He also supported acts like the Collins Kids, where Larry Collins (type : his name and Early American on Youtube) can still be seen in black and white footage playing as a thirteen year old alongside or duelling with Country Joe Maphis on his very own double neck guitar, which Joe is supposed to have taught him to play at eight years old. . Both guitars appear to be a double six string.

Using Firefox 20.0.1, if you zoom in 3 notches (Ctrl-0, then Ctrl-+ 3 times), the text and images in the Notable multi-neck guitar users section get all jumbled together. —[AlanM1(talk)]— 17:31, 8 July 2013 (UTC)

I'd like to see some info about some of the first artists in pop/rock contemporary music to utilize the double-neck/multi-neck guitar. its one of the reasons I came to this article. who were some of the first to use it? I know Jimmy Page is a famous one..but were there any before him?
thank you

Would anyone be too offended if I was to include a Bill Bailey image as he is mentioned.
I appreciate he is using it for comedic purposes (though he is one of very few people who are perfect pitch, and is pretty awesome musically), so if people are against it no worries.
Was thinking this http://bestnetworx.com/uploader/files/15/264652_10150234725738127_50397823126_7425390_972986_n.jpg --TheMightyAllBlacks (talk) 03:58, 13 July 2019 (UTC)

The article concentrates on the physical layout. I would like a discussion of the specific advantages (and disadvantages, in particular different reasons players want such guitars, and also of the acoustic mechanisms. For instance, I see Metheny playing the Pikasso with the mike over only one (or two?) of the string sets, while he's plucking a string set that doesn't go to the mike and is fingering a different string set on the neck where usually the frets set the pitch. An explanation of how this produces sound would add a lot to the article. Zaslav (talk) 05:57, 8 May 2021 (UTC)
