Irish-born and Manchester-raised Nathaniel Murphy now works at Chicago Music Exchange – one of the world's greatest guitar stores. But he also happens to be one of the most talented guitarists we've heard – his clips on Instagram consistently prove his uniquely dazzling sense of musicality. So when we see another instrumental cover he's taken on, we click – and if it's on a double-neck Mosrite electric guitar? We click even faster.
Six-string and bass, this is the perfect steed to ride into U2's classic With Or Without You. And Nathaniel is gifted, but surely noone can play the bassline to that song at the same as a guitar instrumental, so his Chicago Music Exchange colleague Gus helps out.

Rob is the Reviews Editor for GuitarWorld.com and MusicRadar guitars, so spends most of his waking hours (and beyond) thinking about and trying the latest gear while making sure our reviews team is giving you thorough and honest tests of it. He's worked for guitar mags and sites as a writer and editor for nearly 20 years but still winces at the thought of restringing anything with a Floyd Rose.
