Designing Brian May's Red Special
The making of Brian May's Red Special is no easy task. From all my years of researching this famous axe I have never found a full definitive document that describes how to create every aspect of it. What is apparent through this treck of vast knowledge is that the task of building a Red Special should not be undertaken without your full commitment.
Through this section I will describe in detail every aspect of the Red Special. From designing the neck to designing the scratchplate.
NOTE: It is highly advisable to have purchased all parts prior to designing the guitar.
