    Thanks for the info guys, but I actually already knew about his homemade guitar and such. Queen, (more specifically Brian May and Freddie Mercury) are an obsession of mine. The guitar neck was made from a piece of fire place, the body of the guitar was a solid piece of wood he hollowed out from a table top. The pickups, like Steve said, were burns. He had made his own on the previous guitar he owned. (a small sized spanish guitar). He found that winding wire around magnets would work. And like said before, the springs were off a motorbike, and the wammy bar was a piece of his mothers sewing needle. He said he may have been the first person to deliberately design a guitar to feedback. He said the closest way to explain what he meant is to feedback with the air almost. It took he and his father 2 years to design, and when he was finally finished, he had a friend offer his brand new Fender strat as a trade. Brian turned it down ofcourse.There are many Red Special replicas out there, as far as looks go, Guild has been the closest I've come across. While the Burns is nice, and is a signature released version, the design is a tad different that May's. Mainly in the roller section beneath the bridge.I was mainly asking if anyone had one on the forum before I purchased one. I was hoping maybe someone on here would be willing to sell.Thanks a lot guys!
