Description

Teaming up with the maestro and his long-standing technician, Pete Malandrone, House Music established Brian May Guitars in 2004 with the launch of the all-new BMG Special. With production re-located to one of the world's most respected manufacturing facilities, this revised model featured significant improvements in design, specification and construction. Subsequent iterations have seen further upgrades and refinements to the Special's bridge assembly, pickups, electronics, hardware, finishing and colour choices.

Simply put, the world's best artist designed production guitar has consistently got a whole lot better. 

The BMG Special is an immensely versatile, pro-grade instrument designed not just to replicate the unique sound of one of rock 'n' roll's true heroes, but also to provide modern guitarists of all musical persuasions with the perfect go-to guitar for any performance environment.
