I really like those purpleheart lams the way you have them.
 
The DW body style isn't my personal favorite, but this is certainly cool.

Rob,
fantastic!!!
Could you put on the bridges and knobs like on my DW TFJ?
Maybe an additional selector switch for the both necks?
What about the necks? 4string fretless on top and 8string below?
Maybe the 8string with a longer DW headstock to fit the 8tuners.
Maybe 4 big and 4 small?
 
You are great man...

Wow Rob,
 
Perhaps you can work part time for Alembic.  That looks exquisite... and very, very expensive!
 
The Doubleneck actually makes sense with that body style. That upper portion of the wing would help with the balance. I'd go with a fretted 4 lower neck and a fretless 4 upper neck. I'd also try to get the necks still more parallel.
 
It should be player friendly as well as being a beautiful work of art.
 
My 2 cents,
 

Oliver. Work in progress... patience.
 
How about using the standard(DW) headstock on the upper neck, and a mirrored on the lower.
That would put the bass tuners on the outside, then the smaller (shorter) guitar tuners end up on the inside.
Skip the bevel on the side of the lower peghead.
 
No difference in size for the -heads.
 
Can someone give me a blueprint for the knobs and dials?

Rob,
sorry, didn?t want to push you. I am really happy about your skills With the headstock will not work as we need e/E a/A d/D g/G so I think we must mix between small and big ones.
 
Oliver (Spyderman)

Ok. .... is the bass strings on top or?
 
Will also need the string size for the octave strings.
 
I'm guessing that the bass strings are standard, .045 .065 .080 .105.
 
Oh!...forgot. The scale? 34?

Rob,
if you look down the bass wearing it they are starting with the thing strings, then the bass strings. As said e/E a/A d/D g/G.
This is the old style setup where you can play ideally with a pick.
8string sizes are:
1st-G 2nd-G   3rd-D 4th-D 5th-A 6th-A 7th-E 8th-E   
.040   .020   .055    .025   .070   .035   .090    .045
 
And of course both necks at 34

Rob,
Are you working in 3D? Can you view the guitars in a .sat file with a program such as Spatial Technologies ACIS Viewer? This is a really cool way to show off the entire model.

I only work in AutoCAD 2002. So the standard file type is .dwg.
 
There are many other programs ,newer ones,that probably be a lot better.
But I know how to do things in A-CAD, so that is what I work with.

So the standard file type is .dwg.  .Dragonwing???  Perfect!
 
Peter

LOL....... can't belive I missed that one.
 
Oliver. Any accent laminates? Pinstripes?
Body wood is mahogny, or rather my attempt at it.

Rob,
just as on my DW. Core Wood is actual Walnut.  
Oliver (Spyderman)

Step three. Now with necks.
 

Rob,
wow. You?re great man!!!!
 
Thank you so much....
 
Oliver (Spyderman)

Step four. Quick peghead design check. There's a large risk that the strings will not clear all string poles. Redesign might be in order.
 

 
The lower peghead is just a mirrored upper. With more tuners.
