Joe Maphis played double-necked Mosrite guitars.

Danny Gatton played a double neck tele, one neck was a baritone I think.

Richie Sambora is another who plays a double neck tele, wears a cowboy hat, sort of.

But "these are't the droids you are looking for." to paraphrase the Jedi.

Jackson Browne - Junior Brown, yeah that's probably the guy.

From what I can discern, Larry Collins' double necks were also made by Semie Mosley. Although one of the early ones he played had a Bigsby/Fender style head. Still it appeared to be one of Semie's guitars, maybe not.

Then .... and not quite now.

Double neck guitars are interesting beasts. I played a 6/12 double neck mosrite for a time in the mid 60's. It was too heavy on the shoulder for a night's work. I traded it in for separate 6 and 12 string Mosrites. Still have the 12 string.

If Junior isn't the guy maybe this article can shed some light.
