Faithfully reproducing the originals unique character and tonal versatility the Special is not just a standard replica model. This new edition is especially designed to provide modern players of all musical levels with an affordable pro-grade instrument that is perfect for any performance environment. Quality construction Sculpted with an acoustic chambered mahogany body the Brian May Special stays true to the look and spirit of the iconic "Old Lady" Red Special. The instantly recognizable pinstripe-bound double cutaway mahogany body is designed with an acoustic chamber inspired by Brian Mays original design. This chamber enhances the guitars natural resonance and reduces weight while maintaining the distinct BM sound. Engineered with a contemporary feel the glued-in mahogany neck offers a comfortable and modern playing experience. Additionally the neck of the guitar features a generous 45mm nut width and a comfortably spacious "D" profile which provides ample space for the fingers to move and allows for greater control over the instrument. Another key feature is its smooth and luxurious ebony fingerboard. Equipped with 24 frets this model provides an extended range for players who want to push their technical skills to the limit. The ebony wood adds a rich and warm tone to the instrument while also providing a smooth and fast playing surface that makes it easy to navigate. Get Mays classic sound Equipped on this guitar are Tri-Sonic style pickups specifically designed to replicate the vintage 60s Burns design units. These provide a unique and powerful sonic character that is highly sought after by guitar players around the world. The pickups are wired in series and in phase which allows for a wide range of tonal possibilities. With the bridge and middle pickups switched together the guitar produces a fat humbucker-style overdrive that is perfect for rhythm playing. The unique magnet alignment and retro-styling of the pickups also contribute to the iconic Brian May sound. In terms of tonal qualities the electronics are highly versatile. The bridge pickup delivers bright and cutting sounds that are ideal for lead guitar while the middle pickup offers warm and full-bodied tones for rhythm guitar. The neck pickup provides a smooth and mellow sound that is perfect for solos and melodic playing. Additionally each pickup is height adjustable which allows for even greater control over the overall output of the guitar. Get Mays highly sought-after sonics.
