The Emerald special

Commissioned by a customer in Chile, this was to be a no holds barred project, the customer just said "throw everything at it!"...so, with the enormous talent of my good friend Greg Goodwillie...we did just that. Apart from the anodised aluminium scratch-plate, the birds eye Maple fingerboard, the quilted Maple veneer and the Jescar gold fret wire, it shares exactly the same construction as Brian May's famous original Red Special.
