Manufacturer's ID: BRIANMAYLH

The result of a unique collaboration between Dr. Brian May, his long-standing guitar tech Pete Malandrone, and House Music, the best-selling BMG Special combines the distinctive aesthetics and sound of the legendary Red Special with a wealth of modern appointments and superb quality, production-line craftsmanship.

All the foundations of the trademark BM sound are present and correct, with construction, pickups and electronics faithfully reproducing the original's unique character and tonal versatility. But this is so much more than just a replica... with a price-tag and a range of new colours driven by Brian's concept of a guitar "for the people", the Special is designed to provide modern players of all musical persuasions with an affordable pro-grade instrument that is the perfect "go-to" guitar for any performance environment.

Customer reviews

Overall Rating 5/5 (1 reviews)

The guitar itself is excellent, great feel and a good sound. However, the setup is very poor - with an almost unplayable low action and noticeable fret buzz on the low strings. I would have expected thus to be checked before the guitar left the store!
