"The one bizarre photo we have of The Mavericks, lit from underneath like a 1930's horror photograph, shows Collin with his Gibson doubleneck, a smiling Dick with his Fender/Harvey doubleneck, and a drummer named Russ, who apparently didn't mind being in a band with no bass player and two guys playing doubleneck guitars."
Also, according to what I saw at Google Books, some (or maybe all?) of that blog's text is in a 2013 book by the same author called "Strat in the Attic: Thrilling Stories of Guitar Archaeology" (NFI).
