RS Conversions by Woody Thomas takes the Brian May BMG guitar and upgrades the scratch plate to a more accurate and highly polished plate complete with pick up surrounds.
The most notable upgrade is the change from the Wilkinson tremolo to the roller bridge trem which is more in keeping with the original Red Special Guitar

Converting a BMG guitar to be like Brian May's Red Special is a complex process and requires a lot of customization. Here are some general steps you can take:
1. Choose the appropriate BMG guitar model
The BMG Special, BMG Super, and BMG Junior guitars are all modeled after the Red Special and have similar features. However, the BMG Special is the most similar in terms of design and hardware.
2. Replace the pickups
The Red Special is known for its unique sound, which is due in large part to its custom tri-sonic pickups. To replicate this sound, you'll need to install a set of tri-sonic pickups in your BMG guitar or have a custom set made.
3. Modify the wiring
The wiring in the Red Special is also unique and contributes to its distinctive tone. You'll need to modify the wiring in your BMG guitar to match the Red Special's wiring diagram.
4. Add a phase switch
One of the Red Special's most popular features is its phase switch, which allows the pickups to be out of phase with each other. This creates a unique tone that is often heard in Brian May's playing. You'll need to add a phase switch to your BMG guitar to replicate this feature.
5. Install a treble booster
Brian May also used a treble booster pedal to enhance the Red Special's tone. You can install a built-in treble booster in your BMG guitar to replicate this effect.
6. Customize
