- In this second video on how I designed my interpretation of Brian May's Red Special guitar from first principles, I explain how I created the overall shape and the internal details of the guitar body and pickguard. I have illustrated this video with TurboCAD screen recordings and animated renders of the 3D objects in the same style as my previous video on the guitar neck.
00:00 - Introduction.
00:56 - Review of the guitar body design sketches.
01:30 - Cross reference for my video "How Brian May Designed His Red Special Guitar".
01:50 - Introduction to the construction of the guitar body outline illustrated with some pictures taken during my Red Special build project.
02:26 - Construction of the Brian May Red Special guitar body outline from first principles using lines and arc segments derived from circles and ellipses.
04:26 - Review of the x-ray images taken at St Bartholomew's Hospital in London.
04:57 - Early iteration of the Red Special frictionless roller bridge and tremolo design using an assembly from a submarine.
05:23 - Selected features of the upper and lower body sections internal structure and their construction elements.
06:30 - Body internal features closing remarks.
06:47 - Construction of the pickguard/scratchplate set from first principles.
07:52 - Closing comments.
08:10 - Outro.
In the first video in this series, I talk you through how I designed the neck for my Brian May Red Special guitar build using a CAD software utility. I begin by explaining how I worked up overall design sketches using known measurements and design details including the assumptions I made, then move on to cover the detail on the headstock, main section and tenon separately.
• Brian May Red Special ...
In 1963, because they could not afford to buy a suitable instrument, Brian and his father Harold took an innovative and practical approach to designing a new type of electric guitar. In the video below, I explore an urban myth in the Brian May Red Special enthusiast community that they drew around various household objects to form the basic outline and features of the guitar. Like all good urban myths, it might have an element of truth to it so watch the video, decide for yourself:
• How Did Brian May Desi...

Hello Doug, there. Very nice video, once again. Makes me want to construct my own VERY similar copy to yours. If only I had a time machine.
Hello Brother Holwerda. I recommend constructing a time machine, it might be less frustrating than making a Red Special. 👍🏻😂
Great video Doug.. It was fun to follow your specs and draw it at the same time.
Cool. Did I make any mistakes? 🤔
@@dsgb C4a is a 1.5 inch circle on your drawing. You said 2.5 inch... confused me for a second. ua-cam.com/video/HqI7xIv03Wk/v-deo.html
Amazing! I wanted to build one myself for years now. I see all those replicas people make, and I still haven't started. I don't even remember if I already commented something similar under one of your previous videos 😆 I think that's my coping mechanism for not doing it already... I just vent a little about it, how I WILL do it someday and then do nothing... Well someday 😅
Go for it. 👍🏻😀 I decided that I would make a Red Special replica when I developed a typical teenage obsession with Queen in 1987 when I was 13 years old. I didn't start planning and doing design work for my build until 2015 then it was a further two years before I started physically making anything in 2017, some thirty years later so don't feel bad for putting it off! 😂
@@dsgb My obsession also started when I was 13 but in 2002. So I have some time! Naah I'll try it sooner. I hope 😆 Cheers!
Thank you so much👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I hope the content is useful for you. 👍🏻😀
Amazing Video Doug :)
Thanks Andrek. 😀🙏🏻
Superb!! have you ever thaught about selling your cad project? I'll be interested
Best Regards!
Thanks. 👍🏻😀 I have provided a lot of guidance to allow people to produce their own design of their interpretation of Brian May's Red Special. For further insights, please check out the link below:
