This next instrument was commissioned. The customer is also very inspired and influenced with the music and musicianship of Led Zeppelin. He did
contact Andy Manson to see if it was alright for me to make one. This particular triple neck has Redwood for the soundboard, Myrtle for the back and sides.
All the dark wood, fingerboard, bridges etc are all Macassar Ebony.
The inlay work along the 12-string fingerboard are the four Zeppelin symbols, each representing a member of the band. On the twelfth fret there is the LZ-
129 Hinderburg airship (zeppelin), which appeared on their first self titled 1969 album cover. This instrument also features a Linda Manzer ‘Wedge’ and a
Laskin bevel. There are RMC pickups installed, the six string neck has MIDI synth capabilities.

There has been many multi necked instrument going back hundreds of years, with all kinds of combinations. This particular instrument is inspired by the
great British guitar maker Andy Manson, who made the triple neck (mandolin, 12-string, 6-string) for Led Zeppelin’s John Paul Jones and later Jimmy Page. I
first saw this kind of instrument in my teenage years when reading the booklet that came along with the first Led Zeppelin box set and thinking what a cool
instrument that was. Since then I’ve dreamt that some day I would own one and so I ended up Building this one for myself. Here is a video of me playing the
12-string part.
