Brian May BMG Red Special Antique Cherry 2023 Guitar

Here for sale we have a Brian May Guitars BMG Special in Antique Cherry finish. Built in 2023, this guitar features a set-neck construction comprising a Chambered Mahogany body, Mahogany neck, an Ebony fingerboard, 24 frets and a zero fret, Grover Rotomatic machine heads, a Wilkinson WVP Knife Edge Tremolo, along with a trio of BM Brand Tri-Sonic style single coil pickups, wired to independent on​/​off and phase slider switches, along with master volume and tone controls. The gloss neck plays well, offering a smooth and quick playing surface, with the Even 'C' shape neck profile providing comfortable thumb positioning. The dual cutaways give great access right up to the 24th fret, whilst the Medium Jumbo frets feel rock solid, making for easy bends and enhanced vibrato. The Rosewood fingerboard is pleasant to the touch, and with it's 9.8" radius, provides a nice balance between comfortable chord playing and practicality for lead lines and string bending. The trio of BM Brand Tri-Sonic style single coil pickups sound crisp and clear, with a sweet low end, open midrange and articulate highs. Clean sounds are bright and snappy, with a fast attack. Driving the amp produces rich crunchy tones, perfect for emulating the Queen guitarist's sound. Each pickup is controlled by individual on​/​off and phase slider switches, allowing for a wide variety of tones. The pickups share master volume and tone controls for easy sonic sculpting.
