About this product

Product Information

Brian May and his father Harold started to hand-build an electric guitar in 1963. Brian dreamed of a guitar that would outperform any of the existing commercially-made electric guitars; his father had the technical knowledge and skills to help make the dream come true. Brian played his guitar on every Queen album and in all of Queen's live shows around the world. 'My dad and I decided to make an electric guitar. I designed an instrument from scratch, with the intention that it would have a capability beyond anything that was out there, more tunable, with a greater range of pitches and sounds, with a better tremolo, and with a capability of feeding back through the air in a good way'. -- Brian May

  • An Amazing Book about an Amazing Guitar!

    Ever since I first read about Brian May's unique innovations on his own-design, home-made guitar over thirty years ago, I've been a huge admirer of both it and him. Discovering quite late that he had brought out a BOOK all about his wonderful guitar, I couldn't wait to get myself a copy of it! It is a "Must-Have" for any fan of Queen, Brian May, or electric guitars in general - and I would heartily recommend it to any like-minded people!

  • Brian May, his book, and the man I bought it for

    The book and its author both rock. The man for whom I bought the book turned out to be stunningly disappointing - not even one star out of five, I have returned him to sender. If he were a rock song he would be something by Axl Rose (on his own).
