Faithful replica of Brian May Red Special guitar

The Brian May Special Lefthand Antique Cherry is a faithful replica of the legendary "Red Special" christened electric guitar, which has always been the unmistakable trademark of the Queen guitarist. Like the original, which Brian May built together with his father in the early sixties using, among other materials, the more than 100-year-old wood from a mantelpiece, the BMG Special for left-handers also features a mahogany body with resonance chambers, a glued mahogany neck in a comfortable C-profile and a 24" scale length (610 mm) that plays as smoothly as butter. Three Brian May Guitars Custom Tri-Sonic Style single coils and the elaborate circuitry also promise a particularly flexible sound between glassy cleans and rich rock distortion. Naturally, complete a Wilkinson WVP-2 2-Point Knife Edge Tremolo and tuning stable locking tuners the equipment of the Brian May Guitars Special Lefthand Antique Cherry.

The Brian May Guitars Special Lefthand Antique Cherry is a faithful replica of Brian May's legendary home-made Red Special guitar.

Set-neck instrument with comfortable handling.

In the construction of the Red Special for left-handers, Brian May Guitars naturally follows the model known as "Fireplace" and "Old Lady". Accordingly, the mahogany body features generous resonance chambers, which promise not only an additional resonance boost, but also a perfect balance on the strap. In conjunction with the wide C-profile of the glued, one-piece mahogany neck, the short 24" scale length (610 mm) promises buttery-smooth playing characteristics and full control over string bends on the 24-fret ebony fingerboard.

Tri-Sonic Style pickups with flexible circuitry.

A not insignificant part of the unmistakable Brian May sound, as heard on countless Queen albums, is clearly the characterful circuitry of the Red Special, which the BGM Special Lefthand Antique Cherry naturally reproduces exactly. While three Brian May Guitars Custom Tri-Sonic Style single coils handle the electrical sound conversion, a total of six slider switches grant control over the tone. In addition to three On/Off switches, which can be used to realize all available pickup combinations, there are three switches to reverse the phase of each single coil. Furthermore, a volume control and a tone pot allow you to adjust the guitar sound.

High-quality hardware components

As attachments for the BMG Special Lefthand Antique Cherry, Brian May relies on high-quality components that more than meet professional demands. The bridge is the popular Wilkinson WVP 2-Point Knife Edge Tremolo, which not only reacts buttery smooth to movements of the Custom tremolo lever, but also guarantees exact intonation and string position adjustment with six brass tailpieces. Behind the zero fret and nut, locking tuners keep the BMG Red Special in the correct tuning even after frequent reaches for the tremolo lever.
