Descripción

High quality second hand recommended item!
We've got a highly recommended pre-owned Brian May Guitars "Brian May Special" in stock! This high-performance model was made in 2018 under the supervision of Brian May himself. The red body color will get you fired up!

Under the supervision of Brian May himself, the Red Special, which has been his main guitar for over 30 years, has finally been completed as the high-cost performance model "Brian May Special"!

The famous Red Special was made by Queen guitarist Brian May when he was a child, together with his father, using white oak that had been used as part of a fireplace for over 100 years!
This Red Special is a staple of his work, and it has been used in many famous songs and legendary live performances.

The on/off/phase switches for each pickup are faithfully reproduced, just like the original guitarist's!
Slide switches for on/off and phase for each pickup provide a wide range of tones.
Of course, just like the artist himself, the body has a chamber structure with part of it being hollow.
Of course, it is not possible to use the same white oak wood as the guitarist, which has been used for over 100 years, but the body and neck are made of mahogany, which has a similar sound quality, and the ebony fingerboard gives it a warm, fat sound that you can fully enjoy!
The firm neck grip, which Brian preferred due to his large hands, has also been recreated. The neck is not so thick that it is difficult to play, but the rich resonance produced by the thick neck is one of its charms.

You'll be amazed by the wide range of high-quality sounds, but the fact that it's manufactured in Asia also makes it highly cost-effective! (Made in Korea)

We have a recommended high-quality used item in stock! It was made in 2018.
There are some small scratches, small dents in the original paint, and some dullness on the parts, but overall it is in fair condition. None of these affect playability. It has been fully maintained and cleaned at our shop, so it is a recommended guitar that is ready to play right away.

The frets are in good condition and are almost intact. The nut is also in good condition and can be used as is. The truss rod can be adjusted normally.

The electrical system has been fully checked and there are no problems with operation.

It weighs approximately 3.92 kg, and is balanced to produce a solid sound.
The red body color really gets you motivated!

Accessories include the original gig case, arm, and wrenches.

Don't miss this opportunity!
