This one came in for some work as it had never played properly out of the box. Here's an honest review of the guitar, and answers the question - does a guitar that is massively different in construction from the guitar it aims to copy, sound anything like it's supposed to?

I picked up one of these a couple of weeks ago and I’ve come to dearly love the 24 inch scale. It’s so much easier to play once you adapt to it.

Really does sound close.

How much to build me a 7 string Red Special copy? Complete with Sustainiac, series/parallel switch etc. Roughly speaking, of course.

You need to show what amp and pedals you’re playing this through if any.

It's Helix - but it's basically a pair of AC30's with chorus between them and a treble booster. Exactly what May would have used late 70's/early 80's.

@@TonyEdwardsGuitars me and my grandpa built My own electric guitar when I was 11 I'm 21 now I use a coin as a pick I find it easier to use and to solo I also use my own custom set of 8/38 flatwound strings me and my grandpa built my guitar using hand tools we cannot afford expensive machinery we had to do a lot of it by hand my grandpa has a degree in woodworking and electronics the knobs are from a 1940's radio I forgot to mention that they don't make this type of knobs on my guitar anymore also it's wrapped in leather howdy from North Carolina Oh yeah the pickup by the way the surface mounted completely flat so I didn't have to do any routing for the pickup also the body has a metal frame inside of it

He probably knew Brian May (Brian Son of May, ie Brian Mason). Brian is definitely a mason like anyone who is anyone.
