In the history of the electric guitar, no other guitar has had such an iconic status as Brian May´s Red Special. Even such treasures as Hendrix´s white Strat, Jimmy Page´s ´58 Les Paul Standard and Jeff Beck´s battered Esquire pale into insignificance simply because, rare though they are, those models were production instruments. It is not only Brian May´s music that makes this guitar special, but rather what makes the Red Special unique is it was made at home by two people -Brian and his dad -who had no prior experience of guitar building.

Stories of the construction of the Red Special are nearly as legendary as the guitar itself! The use of:
- motorcycle saddle springs,
- knitting needles
- pearl shirt buttons,

not to mention a mantelpiece riddled with woodworm holes - have become legendary. But what is so important, is that the guitar turned out to possess several innovative designs that have yet to be fully copied by other manufacturers, even today.
