I usually don't like those double necks of any kind, but that one is nice.

Beyond ugly!  If I had to own a doubleneck, it'd probably be a Danelectro.  Kind of the only company that did those things where they weren't too ugly.

I'd probably get a Danelectro Longhorn, just because of the Captain Beefheart factor.
