Arbiter SG Double Neck Cherry Red 1985 Electric Guitar Spares/Repairs
Here for sale we have an Arbiter SG Double Neck Electric Guitar in Cherry Red finish. Made in Japan in 1985, this guitar consists of a Mahogany body, two Mahogany necks, and two Rosewood fingerboards. Other features include, four original humbucking pickups, and a Mandolin neck that has been modified to fit in the 12-string neck pocket. This guitar is a perfect project guitar, where the end result will be an incredibly special instrument.
 
The guitar requires a new 12-string neck, a 12-string Tune-o-matic bridge, a 12-string stopbar, and a new set of 12-string tuners. We have priced this guitar based upon the second hand value of a fully functional example, minus the cost of repair and how much the guitar will be worth once any repairs are completed.
