Finally, a recognizable, tangible outline of the Red Special! And I can pick it up and hold it! This has been a long time coming.
While there will, no doubt, be people who feel the only way to build this guitar is by hand... I suggest that my journey; hunting down materials, constructing blockboard, practicing some woodworking stills whilst also taming the unruly beast of a machine that is CNC, is no less perilous, rewarding, or fulfilling.
Big thanks to Doug Short for our seemingly unending collaboration on this build. Check out his build and lots more info here: dsgb.net
