Despite Angine de Poitrine initially landing on their microtonal sound as a joke, the polka-dotted papier-mâché-headed duo have taken the rock world by storm. Now, guitarist Khn de Poitrine’s wonky, double-necked bass/guitar started out as an experimental Frankensteinian hack job is being sought after by guitarists across the globe – and Eastwood Guitars has recreated it for the masses.
Upon sharing a Guitstarter campaign for the Microtonal Doubleneck 4/6, fans flocked to pre-order and back the model. While Eastwood Guitars only needed 12 backers to make the guitar a reality 36 customers have since bought the $1,299 axe.
The Microtonal Doubleneck 4/6 appears to boast 38 frets on its guitar neck, coming in at 24.75” in scale, while the bass neck has 28 frets and sits at 30.5”. Alongside the bolt-on maple necks with rosewood fingerboards, the guitar features an alder body and Gotoh-style nickel and chrome hardware. It also weighs in at around 11 lbs.
While the model isn’t an official collaboration with Angine de Poitrine, Eastwood explains that there had previously been talks of collaborating with the band’s luthier, Raphael Le Breton. There had been discussion of authentically recreating guitarist Khn de Poitrine’s iconic instrument – but Khn “ultimately decided he would prefer not to have a signature replica of his guitar made available for purchase”.
The company goes on to claim that the decision was one they “fully respect”. However, Eastwood was still keen to release something inspired by the group. “Many years ago, Khn had approached us with a request to build a white, microtonal version of our Eastwood 4/6 Doubleneck featuring black appointments,” the company explains. That old request has finally been brought to life.
There’s still 18 days left to pre-order a model, if you’re interested. Though, be warned – the signature Angine de Poitrine polka-dots are not included.
Though the anonymous Canadian group have kept things pretty private, last month saw them speaking to Cult MTL and explaining that the project is “a culmination of a lot of years of inside jokes”. Even their bizarre names are tongue-in-cheek, with Khn saying: “The names were our alter egos in a 10-minute free jazz project, where I was just fooling around on saxophone and [Klek] was on drums.”
Drummer Klek also forged his partner’s strange, alien guitar as a joke. “I took two guitars, and I took the frets from one board, which was kind of rusty and fucked up anyway, and I put them on a second fret board,” Klek said. “We thought it would look fucking sick, and for 15 seconds, we were like, ‘Oh, that’s a funny joke.’ But it became clear that it was a good idea.”
“The whole idea of the band was to assume a bit of a satirical approach to rock music in general,” Khn added. “We wanted an exaggeration, so the double-neck guitar was the perfect choice to kind of make fun of guitar heroes.”
