OP, play as many as you can, buy the one you like.
I like mine.

I bought the BMG Red Special second hand a couple of years ago.
I think it looks and feels great.
The volume knob fell off three months ago, but I think super glue will do the job. The dark E-string has some harshness, but the strings are quite old.
I also bought the Red Special pedal (second hand) and a small Vox amp (AC4C1), and I think it sounds really good.
I'm happy with my guitar, just wish I could play better...

Don't glue the volume knob, there is a very small screw inside the pot that can be adjusted to pull the two halves of the pot slightly farther apart which will secure the knob. I found out after breaking the pot first.....

Thank you, Fireplace!
I will try what you said.
Sorry for your loss.

Thanks for your sympathies ITSM, it was a long time ago and it was a perfect opportunity to replace both pots with better 250K ones. Let me know if it works out for you.
