The 'Big Red' special


This custom RS was a really interesting project from start to finish. With the glued in Rosewood neck, 24.75" scale length, f-hole and custom switching, it was to be quite unlike any other.
Thankfully the customer is very happy with the finished instrument.

"What a beautiful job you've done, I'm so impressed with the details. The Big Red Special is awesome!"
