Jimmy Page has produced his own [Signature Double Neck guitar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/limited-edition-guitar) and then there are these bad boy mutations, which include two-ended instruments as well as guitars that boast [eight strings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-guitar-pickups), 42 strings, four necks, [two sound holes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acoustic-guitar-models), and five necks.
