A poster  who has posted a total of 8 times since 2008 is interested in this? Really? It is of course fake, just as the poster is Mike Oldfield himself under a pseudonym.

Wonder why people think it's fake. It has a traceable history and it sold for £12.500. A good investment IMHO.

If I had the money I would have bought it, it a quite a rare guitar, and having been owned by Mike makes it extra special to me.

Yes and it can also be seen in the interview section on the Essential Knebworth Concert video.

I can't see the point of multiple neck guitars, I only have two hands myself.

Perhaps this one is useful for the novelty edge case where you want to immediately switch between bass and guitar in a live situation. Never seen it happen.

The only legit use I've ever seen is Jimmy Page going from 12 string to 6 on live Stairway to Heaven.

Can't imagine Mike would have used it much in the studio.
