Come on you can't be that stupid. This awesome guitar is a masterpiece of engineering. You think If I was rich I would buy everything, but man you don't know the feeling: Wow I build this guitar my self. Brian is one of the best guitarists with one of the greatest guitars ever built.

His music is incredible I love the tone of the Red Special guitar. Unfortunately he doesn't take the original guitar on stage (actually it's pretty clever so It won't break) Now go and buy yourself a hobby rich man.

"Things grow by sharing..."

wisdom to keep in mind.

You do understand that the original Red Special (Because he had copies made for the reason i'm about to tell you) Was hand built by him and his dad when he was a kid. Clearly your brain is a piece of junk, You should stop holding on to life.

[greengopper]

Intelligent, a true artist, a genius and very humble. Salute.

[Ezekielepharcelis]

I bet it is also because this Guitar will remember him always of his Childhood and his Dad with whom he build this together. Valuable Memories.

[ANOTHERHOLEINYOHEAD]

I think the tone of the guitar is excellent. I get the fact that its special to him because his dad made it for him however it still looks crap.

[Nicolas LEBLOND]

I have to say, it's wonderful.

Never heard it before, must be one of the songs on his album...

[Nicolas LEBLOND]

Man, you must be kidding right?

The Red Special is the prettiest guitar ever made... And probably the best sounding, too !

And when you see where tjat "piece of junk" took him, I think he is allowed to say that he is very greatful of the red special... I would...

Whats the beautiful guitar acoustic song brian is playing?

[Alice Hamilton]

Is the little kid him? I can't tell I'm so STUPID.....

[centristwf]

dont you know a word called "LOVE" ?

[Kenneth McCormick]

The only guitar-related image that's even more iconic than Brian with the Red Special is Jimi Hendrix with his converted strats (either the early mostly black pre-CBS models with rosewood fretboards or the white "Woodstock guitar", a CBS with a maple cap fretboard on a maple neck - NOT a one-piece maple neck). And having your own totally unmistakable, unimitable sound isn't so bad either, now is it?
