Here's a pic of my guitar. It's a custom double-neck guitar/mandola made by Hugh Manson of Manson's Guitars in Devon, England, completed only a couple of months ago. It's known as the "double dragon" guitar due to the dragon inlays on each neck, the nickname coincidentally is also the name of a famous Welsh beer :-)
The pickups are: guitar neck - '59 at the bridge, rw/rp Quarterpounder in the middle, Jazz in the neck position. Mandola neck - Cool Rails. Both necks also have saddle piezo systems The humbuckers on the guitar neck are coil-tapped.
This is a really fantastic and unique instrument - the guitar neck plays and feels like my '83 Gibson Spirit while the mandola is excellent not only in it's normal open CGDAD tuning but also with a capo at fret 7 giving you mandolin tuning. It's the most versatile instrument I've ever owned!
