My 2010 Red Specials

The first RS (below) is designed to look most like the original. This was created back in 2005. The second one I intend to create will be constructed differently. The third will have some different materials and using a commercial rollerbridge. The fourth will be made from a solid piece of mahogany (for the body) and use a commercial floating trem. The fifth will be made from different materials again. Mostly all other the functionality and specification will remain the same on all guitars.

As you can see from above I have already named them. For those of you that are unfamiliar with the names, they are characters from a very successful British comedy called Only Fools and Horses.
