Brian May Special Guitar in Antique Cherry

• Based on Brians original Red Special
• New Trevor Wilkinson bridge design
• New updated Burns Brian May signature pickups
• Improved aesthetics

Inspired by Brian Mays legendary Red Special, an instrument that has achieved iconic status and a unique place in rock history, and designed in conjunction with Brian May himself.

The result… a stunning guitar, blessed with superb build quality, awesome playability and an astonishingly rich diversity of killer tones. In fact, it delivers everything youd expect from an instrument built to the exacting standards of one of the worlds greatest guitarists but, in keeping with Brians vision of a “guitar for the people”, with an amazingly affordable price-tag that belies its superior appointments and performance.

Without Question one of the most eagerly anticipated instruments of the century, the Brian May Signature was originally launched in Winter 2001 to rapturous critical and public acclaim… Guitarist magazine hailed it as “Best Guitar of The Year” and theatre audiences around the globe thrilled to the guitars sound in performance in the Queen musical “We Will Rock You”.

But the story certainly didnt end there. Working once again with Brian and his long-standing guitar technician Pete Malandrone, House Music has significantly improved upon the guitars overall construction as well as refining the bridge assembly, electronics, finishing and colour choices. Simply put, the worlds best artist designed guitar has just got a whole lot better.
