I'm sure your guitar plays beautifully and this was not an attempt to 'dis' your guitar. I have one of the first prototypes of the KZ_Fryer Supers (no. 3) which also has an unlacquered fingerboard. If it's any consolation, Brian's Super (no.1... Greg Fryer has no. 2) is identical; i.e. it has an unlacquered fingerboard![/QUOTE]

I see from your website that you have a fair old collection of RS's How does the Guyton sound compared to the others? Is there a marked difference? or if subtle what are the things that distinguish it from the Super?

Yeah, they literally take forever to approve new accounts. No frigging clue why.

Definitely redder than the original RS, the sunlight really shows this. Thanks.

Yes, I've a few RSs (and have owned quite a few others over the years). The Guyton is very similar to the 'Old Lady', especially in look and feel. I was lucky enough to play the original (through my rig) at the 2011 RS meetup and had a good opportunity to compare it with my Guyton. I've also made some changes to my Guyton in order to make it even closer to the original.
I will have a chat with admin on the RS Board to find out what's happening.

Wow, you got to play Brian's original Red Special if I understand what you wrote above. That's pretty special.
mikeryde
Yes, I played the original RS. Pete Malandrone (Brian's guitar tech) was invited to our forum meetup. It was certainly a 'Bucket List' moment for me!
Togg
Very cool, I heard he came along, There was an RS meet up not far from me a few years back, I was hoping to make it but sadly I was traveling on business at the time.
Quick question Mike, I see you used Marshall Power Brakes on the AC30's, do they change the tone much? and do you find they make the tubes blow faster?

The Marshall PBs do change they sond in that they stop the speakers 'breaking-up' (as they restrict the power-amp level). They also affect the amp tone especially on the highest level of attenuation, but they are probably the 'least-worse' that I've tried!
By the way I've been told by the RS forum admin that you have been given access.

It's been available since December last year, but as with the earlier Super, BMG don't seem to be in a hurry to promote it.
In fact I emailed Barry Morehouse, the guy in charge To enquire about it and received nothing in response. It's almost an under the counter product psssst, av you gotta Super I could buy!

I just ordered by Super a couple weeks or so ago. I was told it would be ready for shipment in September. I'm really hoping they have this issue with the tremolo arm sorted out...

Can someone tell me why they use that stupid cheap looking Wikinson roller bridge with the Super? I'm not being funny but its really looks ridiculous and out of place
Why not a copy of the original?
It all looks superb apart from that.
It ruins what could be a complete masterpiece
