vikingrat Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 does anyone know what happened to the brian may guitars? I want a blue one but can not find one anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Base Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 I thought his signature models were copies of his Red Special guitar?? Did they come in any other colours?? I've seen them on a few displays in music shops here recently, so assume they are still around, presumably the company producing them are making a push to cash in on the current tour, but I don't know much about them...

fantasticsound Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 His signature models have been manufactured by several companies over the years, but other than the wine red copies, I'm only aware of black ever being available. Apparently, Brian requested a tri-color burst be available from the latest manufacturer, Burns. Here are pics of both current production models. http://www.edromanguitars.com/guitar/burns/images/brianmaysunburst.jpghttp://www.edromanguitars.com/resources/images/brianmayvert2.jpg It's easiest to find me on Facebook.

Guitarzan Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 i took a quick glance on the site and couldn't find it. another option is RS guitars. they make higher end copies, but they are true to the design and give you a chance to customise it to your liking. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=193274 rock it, i will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillWelcome Home Studios Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 At last years' Summer NAMM, they annouced that it would become an entire line of it's own. Since I wasn't interested in buying one, I never followed the trail after that. As was mentioned above, I think that Burns was the last group handling Brian May Guitars.

Danzilla Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 I saw one in a catalog, by a company called "Stars Guitars" recently. Real cheap price, like $200 or so. Wonder if Brian authorized that?

fantasticsound Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Doubtful! According to the Burns site, Brian wanted the production models to be affordable, but not cheap. He was adamant they use good board for parts, for example. The only place he compromised anything, according to the site, is on the bridge. They didn't say it expressly, but I believe they wanted to save money by using an existing bridge but with a custom handle, rather than incorporate the big expense of sourcing totally custom bridges. Anyway, they say he was very happy with the final product when compared with the original he and his dad built. It's easiest to find me on Facebook.
