This 1960s Rabro twin neck resonator guitar is up for auction. It's the second time round, it didn't sell the first time, and the estimate has been lowered. Looks like an absolute steal for anyone after one, but I guess it's an even more niche market than single neck square necks. I won't be bidding!

That's a very interesting instrument. At first glance it looks like it is hanging from a mirror.
I think this guitar (or one just like it) has been sold a number of times - it shows up occasionally over the years on dobro related social media.
I've never had any desire to own it myself.
I’m puzzled as to how one goes about playing this guitar. Certainly not lap style. Guess it could be positioned in a special stand that rotates/flips, like a waffle iron in a self serve hotel breakfast area?
Or using strap loops on both headstocks and disconnecting/ rotating around the strap lock when standing?
I’ll stick to my Hipshot DoubleShot lol.

It reminds me a little of looking at some older "concept cars" that have been produced by the automotive industry.
Like, "what were they thinking?"
There has been, in recent years, both scientific and luthier advances that have resulted in separating siamese guitars successfully, with both guitars playing as almost normal guitars.
