Re: red special

You mean the Brian May Red Special? Right here: http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/prod … sku=512637
Looks like they cost about $800 new, but maybe you could look on ebay or elsewhere for cheaper.

Re: red special

First Stop should propably be

http://www.brianmayguitars.co.uk/

Those are pretty good ones... better and still affordable are the old guild ones. You might find one of those babies used.

If you want the real deal http://www.guytonguitars.com is your choice. It is expensive like hell I recon, but then you'll have a red special that is so close that even brian uses those... they are also the official guitars for the Queen musical...

other manufacturers include: http://rsguitars.com/ and http://www.kzguitarworks.com/englishpages/e_top.html

Please do yourself a favour and don't even think about china-crap that looks like a red special.

Lots and lots of info:

Oh and if you happen to be really rich and want to say thanks for my help: buy me one of those babies... a burns/brianmayguitars one will suffice... *grins*
