Kristian
Dunn of Elteneleven
has been playing his Carvin doubleneck for some time
now. With doublenecks being somewhat of a rarity (especially
with a bass on bottom), he was glad to find a custom
maker who would work with him in designing his own
instrument for under $1000.
The
finish on this guitar is wonderful. The body was sealed
with a nitrocellulose lacquer sanding sealer and finished
in Premier's Dead Flat Lacquer. The alder really looks
nice with the satin sheen and is a nice contrast with
the gloss of the pearloid guard and coverplates.
The
controls are pretty straight forward. A Fat Tele style
guitar setup on top with a Jazz style bass on bottom.
The guitar has a volume and tone control and the bass
has individual volumes and a shared tone. The 3 way
switches located just above the bass bridge are out
of the way for Kristian's style of playing. One switch
chooses the guitar pickups and the other chooses which
neck is on. As an added bonus, the guitar is small
enough that it fits neatly in a standard rectangular
bass case.
