BRIAN MAY GUITARS BMG SPECIAL – WHITE
Inspired by the legendary Red Special played by Brian May throughout Queen’s remarkable career, the BMG Special brings the celebrated guitarist’s design philosophy to a versatile, high-performance production guitar. Developed by Brian May Guitars with Brian and his long-standing technician Pete Malandrone, the instrument combines distinctive design details with carefully selected components and impressive tonal range.
Finished in striking White, this example offers a clean, contemporary aesthetic that gives the distinctive BMG body shape a particularly eye-catching appearance. Its chambered Indonesian mahogany body and set-in mahogany neck provide a comfortable playing experience, while the Coromandel ebony fingerboard and three Tri-Sonic-style pickups deliver the feel and tonal versatility expected from this artist-designed instrument.
The innovative switching matrix allows each pickup to be switched individually on or off, with additional phase options providing an expansive range of sounds, from clear, articulate cleans to the distinctive, harmonically rich tones associated with Brian May.
