Brian
May "Red Special" (Available
March 1st)-
$1,149.99
This
Guitar is now as exact a replica as you would expect, with
the exception of the tremelo unit which Brian has agreed
to use on the production models.
The
Burns Tri-Sonic Pickups are handmade to the original design
and when tested alongside the original Red Special guitar
Brian was astonished by the similarity of the sound. The
pickup switching system is also exactly the same as the
original spec.
An
on/off switch for each of the pickups and an in and out
of Phase switch for each pickup, this allows you to obtain
all pickup combinations. One Master Volume and One Master
Tone control.
Brian
also insisted that the nut width should be the same as per
original 45mm.
The
Machineheads were also a critical factor, for greater turning
stability Brian chose locking Grover Tuners.
The
neck is hardrock maple and glued to the body, fitted with
an A grade Ebony fingerboard. With 24 medium frets, + zero
fret, Scale 24 1/4 inch.
There
are two colours available, Vintage Cherry (Red) and three
tone sunburst as this was Brian's request.
