Brian May Guitars Red Special Antique Cherry Electric Guitar

Product Description

If you are interested in a guitar built to the design of the Brian May "Red Special", you have come to the right place. It has been quite a journey to arrive at this point.

Through the years there have been a multitude of replicas of the Red Special, built by amateurs and professionals, including two major commercial issues, with Guild guitars of the USA, and Burns Guitars of the UK. As of 2004, the commercial Red Special has at last come home.
