Oh lordy! this is custom shop double neck axe, designed on a diner napkin, by Slash himself. The 12 strring part is fully acoustic (thin body, but LOUDER then hell) it has a sweet Fishmen pickup (the acoustic pickup kings) then there a simple 2way switch to switch to the rockin' electric solidbody side. (bottom half) it plays like a Les Paul, i know Guilds Les Paul is called the Bluesbiird, but they play like pooh and there action is like an inch off the board. This though, plays like a beaut, its got block inlays of Mother of pearl with Abaklone inlayed within that, roose wood finger board, 2 vol, 2 tone nd a 3way toggle. It also has a Flame maple top, 57 style fat necks and supriingley weighs no more then a LP custom. Slash is the man!

The acoustic side, is like a (wet) dream. Its loud and rich perfact for chords and harmony. the electric has Duncan Alnico II pro humbuckers (see my reveiw) wich are the best made. like the two best, yet most defferent guitars in one. it gave me a chub.
Action, Fit, & Finish

Great action on both sides, full acsessd to all 22 frets on both axes (thats what i hated about the Gibson ES-1275, it only had 20 frets and the bottom two were tough to get) Got a awsome Flame top, a transpaernt crimson red finish (also availble in Trans Green, blue and Tobacco Sun burst) A all around custom axe
Reliability/Durability

Well, its half acoustic so its a bit fragile, and the 2 necks make me nervous so i would never test it, but if its as strong as a Les Paul and Guild D-55 its a rock
