    Re. "Need to know more just email me with any questions" - if a seller refers to a guitar's neck as an 'arm', I'm not entirely confident in any knowledge they might care to impart...

    I dunno - the seller seems armless to me! D  but £1,000 for a SCL twin-neck (sorry, arm) - is that realistic?  I'd have thought perhaps around half that?

    There seem to be more wires on one arm than the other.

    Surely that can't be right?

    That was actually the term used by some players in the 50s/60s - I remember reading something about the Beatles where Lennon was referring to his Rick 325 as his 'short arm' guitar.

    These CSLs aren't bad as double-'arm' copies go, but not at that price… even with the rare original case. Especially as it's been buggered around with a bit. Probably worth about half that.

    Never knew that about the neck/arm thing.. I used to laugh at the only guy I ever heard call it an arm.. Jokes on me, I guess!
     so if you fancy a reissue of a guitar they never made in a colour they never used then it probably isn't too overpriced.

    I'll stick my arm out and say that this won't go for a grand.

    No arm in asking.

    So the bit on the end holding the tuners was the... handstock?

    And, thereby, hangs a double entendre. ;-)

    Nope, not tuners, fingers.
