message: The polish wikipedia article on Red Special has featured article status. Would it be possible for somebody who can read polish to use some of the information from that page on this one? --Mrtombullen 12:55, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

message: Is there a citation to back up the description in this article about how the inverted phase effects the tone?  I wasn't able to find it.Fireemblem555 (talk) 06:32, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

message: The unusual features section needs to be sourced.  Not only that, but some of the items under there are just weird.  For example, under tone:
"[The tone of the guitar] is near-impossible to describe, but is so singular that it is easily-identified."
That's not really encyclopedic material.  I'm taking that whole bullet point out - please add it back in if you can come up with some sources that at least show that the guitar has a reputation for having very singular tone (whatever that means...).
Great article, other than that!--72.130.19.46 (talk) 16:06, 23 July 2011 (UTC)

message: "Unlike the primary instruments of most musicians, the original Red Special was built by May along with his father"
Yeah, I bet the majority of musicians didn't get their main instruments built by this duo - if that was it the two would have been in heavy demand indeed. Self-evident. ;) I can see what is intended here of course but it's a poorly worded sentence at a key point in the article. 83.254.154.164 (talk) 09:43, 25 October 2014 (UTC)

message: In the Restoration section the "delay capabilitities" of the guitar are mentioned, with a link to a dead ref. Surely delay is not a quality of a guitar but of an external unit. Perhaps something else, such as sustain, is intended? Mutt Lunker (talk) 15:13, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

message: Couldn’t help but notice there are no specs for action, relief, pickup and pole piece height, etc. Might be helpful for people trying to set up their replicas. Not sure where to find accurate measurements. 2601:281:CC01:5710:F947:F3EE:D873:414C (talk) 21:55, 19 June 2022 (UTC)

message: The "mother-of-pearl star inlay" bears some resemblance to religious symbols. It has now been exchanged for another. Does anyone know the story about this? 2003:D3:DF03:A800:B8D9:3D76:6BF8:2494 (talk) 19:58, 6 February 2023 (UTC)

message: Based on this older news broadcast, which states it was known as the Fireplace or "the red one", it seems the name Red Special came about later. If that is so, I think it deserves some mention. 2A02:8071:184:4E80:38B:FD6D:1DA:E9B0 (talk) 19:59, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Special" was added to the name as an afterthought?
