If you're unfamiliar with it, a simple "Red Special" search on your favourite search engine will lead you to Brian May Guitars and Wikipedia, where you can delve into its fascinating history. Throughout the years, there have been official replicas of this iconic instrument. Guild Guitars produced a few runs of Red (and Green) Specials during the 80s and 90s. Later, the production baton was passed to Burns, and their Korean factory crafted the guitar from 2001 to 2004. This Burns model received high acclaim, earning the coveted "Best Electric Guitar Of The Year" award from Guitarist Magazine in 2001. However, the legacy truly lives on with Brian May Guitars, who have embraced the responsibility of manufacturing the complete official range of Red Specials, available in various finishes, from entry-level models to immaculate reproductions mirroring the original. The versatility of this guitar is astounding, with its three pickups, three pickup on​/​off switches, and three pickup in​/​out phase switches offering an exponential array of tones. Whether you're seeking to recreate Brian May's distinctive sound or explore your own musical realm, the Red Special provides an abundance of options and an unparalleled journey through the realms of sound.
