Hi forumites, I was lucky enough to play a red special original, the one I played 2 years ago, not too many people will be lucky enough to see one let alone play one. This was number 64 built October 2005

More pics of this rare axe, it has a really thick neck, needs some getting used to but sounded sweet even through a small practice amp

Kudos to you Woks ... truly a legendary axe! ... an experience that has to rank right up there with something like "getting to hold Excalibur"

(I know I'm green with envy!):D

Woks, what's with the pizza boxes in the background - I thought you were self sufficient in that way :).

Why would you want to waste time cooking when you need to spend time playing a rare axe?

Haha my last night in Melbourne after grand final we had a jam and couldn't be bothered cooking. I also got to play a nice Fender jazz bass too had no idea they had such a narrow neck!

where have you been hiding bass guy ? haven't seen a post from you for ages, glad your back in action.
I showed the owner of the red special the plans of the guitar you sent me. He still can't believe although its a half neck through only one bolt holds the neck to the body !
