Local guitar builder Guyton Guitars has for a while been producing official Brian May Red Special guitars, but seems he's made a bass version too! I'm not a big queen fan, but its quite nice and pretty unique...

that'll be Big Al's one with the maltese cross inlays?!

Hmm looks more like a les paul than a les paul! Looks fantastic build quality.

What bridge would you put on it? Something like a bent tin fender or a big chunky modern looking thing would just not fit the bass look...

I think a Hipshot Model A type would look brilliant on it. Possibly would consider a Hipshot Supertone as well.
