Here's another bizarre doubleneck instrument, this time it's a Burns guitar/bass combination. Although it has genuine 1960s Burns parts, we do not know for sure its back-story. The seller believes that it was possibly made by an employee of Burns or else was a prototype or one-off tradeshow model, but freely admits that he is unable to offer any proof to these theories.
Currently listed on eBay UK with a starting bid of £1,050.
