okay so it's not a real guitar. and i didn't build it. but i wish it was. and i wish i did. the "Red Special" always looked pretty good to me. it was red. and trim. and round. Unkl Symmetry thought it looked almost right. here's how he would have done it:  |

Ok, so I had one when Burns came out with the reissue. It was junk. Uneven string sensing (high E was almost dead), shoddy workmanship, hopeless neck. I sent it back.
I really wanted to like it.....
Those horns are udderly.....
And it has twice as many switches as necessary. Reductum incompletum.
BTW, nice pic.

the D is pretty thin, and only half the distance away from the G that it should be.
but it's there!

Well, OK, it's sorta there (except at the nut). It seems to wander off into hyperspace there (where I spends most of me time - time? Wait it's hyperspace).  ;D |

Correct me if im wrong...
Didnt Guild design a "Brain May" special 10 years ago?... It got rave reviews ( If you like that kind of tone )....but IMHO its as ugly as sin.
Mr. May could sure razzle-dazzle it though!
