Description

Made during the transition period from Burns to Brian May Guitars, the utterly unique Red Special that has powered Brian May through the Queen years and beyond. The story behind Brian May's hand-built Red Special is legendary - and if you don't know it, type "Red Special" into your search engine and you're bound to come straight to Brian May Guitars and Wikipedia, where you can read all about it. As far as official replicas go, Burns produced the guitar from 2001, winning Guitarist Magazine's "Best Electric Guitar Of The Year" award for this model in the same year. The exponential range of tones you can get from this guitar's original Burns Tri-Sonic pickups, 3 pick-up on/off switches and 3 pick-up in/out phase switches is staggering, And, with its wide fretboard, 24 frets, and incredibly low action, it's a lead guitarist's guitar, with a sonic palette that no other guitar is going to give you. Plenty of options to recreate the sound, if not always the God-like dexterity, of Brian May himself. Professionally set up and really great fun to play. Happy to include a support pack at no extra cost, with: - 5 Picks - Clip-on Tuner - Strap - Hercules Mini Stand - Cleaning Cloth. Happy to meet personally in London to hand over. And if this isn't the one for you, check out my other guitar, amp and pedal listings on Fat Llama!
