Red Special EXTREME by CQUADRO Guitar Works ( making of )

[kristicrosswell]

Are those acoustic strings?

[VanPeter70]

Cosa cambia dalla basic?

[corradomay]

@VanPeter70

puoi leggere tutte le caratteristiche sul mio sito, cerca "cquadro guitar works"

[LabelBob]

What amp are you using? which booster?

[AZOUFF]

I feel envy because this guitar is a masterpiece ...

the pickguard is the only error, which in addition to pick-up also includes the bridge, the pickguard of Brian May's guitar can be removed without taking the strings off because the bridge is not included in the pickguard...

I repeat, is a masterpiece, congratulations!

[corradomay]

@AZOUFF

Thanks! The pickguard you see in the video can be removed with the strings on like the original Red Special

[cesar6863]

beatiful

[BoredomCorner]

What's the difference between the extreme and basic models?

[corradomay]

@BoredomCorner

The Basic is made from solid mahogany with chambers, ebony fretboard, graphite nut, wilkinson roller bridge, and other little different details comparing to the original (you can see all the specs on my website)....the Extreme is just like the original

[BoredomCorner]

@corradomay Well, if I could read Italian I'd be able to understand the specs. :P

[corradomay]

@BoredomCorner

you can just click on the english flag and you'll see the specs in english

[frankdyna]

@JEALOUSYJAZZ That beautiful Brian May Piece is called LAST HORIZON.....he is a doctor in astrophysics as you may know...

[corradomay]

@Jamiewaldie1992 yes



[MrGuitarPrayer]

Perfect job - where did you get the white plastic binding from? What types of polishers ?

[corradomay]

@MrGuitarPrayer I use the Stewmac binding and menzerna polish

[Prostheta]

Interesting! How come the gap in the blockboard joint around 0:45 and the excessive grain runout in the headstock at 1:04? I wasn't expecting to see things like that, dude.

[corradomay]

@Prostheta The gap you see is because the two layers of the body weren't already glued but only screwed. I don't know why abot the grain runout, but the neck was perfectly quertersawn

[Prostheta]

@corradomay Yeah, it seems the grain shifts direction around the nut area. Cut on the quarter perhaps, but maybe a bent tree ;-)

[gabreil1music]

the head stuck look thicker then brain may guitar and the sound that was played in the video not like brain sound but that could be coz of the pr amp that was use but over all i think that that guitar look very good

[corradomay]

@gabreil1music

The headstock is thicker???

[gabreil1music]

@corradomay i think that head stuck is thicker then barin may guitar but i could be worng to it look add to me

[cocaneo]

what is the song at 4:45?

[corradomay]

@cocaneo . "last horizon"

[Bolinteaser]

Sei diventato bravissimo corrado. Senti mi spieghi come prepari il battipenna come lo tagli e per i bordi cisì perfetti che fresa usi?

[corradomay]

Grazie mille! il pattipenna me lo faccio tagliare al cnc su mio progetto per avere la massima precisione, poi con una fresa a 45° con cuscinetto seguo il profilo del battipenna con l'ausilio di una dima delle stessa forma.

I bordi non verranno mai perfettamente lisci, quindi poi vado con carta vetrata sempre più fine e infine polish per lucidare.

[paulvcarter]

Great ! 5 stars

[corradomay]

Thanks! ;-)
