In the second part of my video series examining the tremolo system in Brian May’s Red Special guitar in detail, I demonstrate the installation, set-up and basic function of the system with the help of a test rig. I also take the opportunity to compare my DIY components with a professionally made hardware set that is commercially available in the U.K., the relic hardware kit made by RS Mods. Please check out their website:

Part 1 covered the design and fabrication of the three main steel components and although it isn’t necessary to have watched this first, it does provide useful context if you are not familiar with the basic design of the Red Special tremolo system.
