  • Hi Everyone,
    Please check out this Demo/Review of the Brian May Red Special Guitar or (The BMG Special). My friend let me use his guitar for this video, its a very comfortable guitar and there are alot of amazing sounds you can get from the guitar due to of all the pick up and out of phase variations you can get from this guitar.
    I will get some videos out this week of me playing Brian May/Queen solo with this guitar. Below is a link for the the BMG site.
    I hope everyone enjoys this video and I hopefully it's informative, check out my other videos and please subscribe to my channel. Thank you for stopping by!!!!
    Below is a link to my e-mail and other platforms and contact information, where you can reach out to me with any questions.

    I just ordered a used one complete with 6 pence on Reverb. “As New”. Been wanting to try one for years. I’m now 70 so times wasting. I’m very anxious to see how it feels and the weight. I don’t care for the telecasters so I’m apprehensive about the neck circumstance.

    I've had one of these for a few years now. I found out quickly that 9-42 strings on a 24-inch scale guitar don't work for me (I guess I'm a lot more "heavy-handed" than Sir Brian!), but I put 10s on it, even added an extra spring for the tremolo, and that made it way better for me. Aside from all that, I absolutely love it!
    My next purchase is gonna be the Vox MV50BM amp, the "Brian May" model, of course. ;)

    4:58When you engage just one pickup switching it out of phase makes no sense and makes no effect, because it can be out of phase only when paired with any other pickup(s).

      I have a BMG Red special, just got it...the pick up are really not hot, actually the opposite- I saw a Brian video taking about his sound, and he said he runs his guitar- 1 st. pedal- a tone ranger treble booster- I do that as well with my martin- plexi master- pedal- then the guitar kicks....but with out that boost on, these pickups hace less out put then my starts, and alot less gain than my les pauls.....over all a unique instrument an a good addition to your collection, when you want something different. I have- a Flying V, an Explorer, a SG (all Gibsons) 2 les pauls, 1- 1982 kramer Pacer (original) and a fender Tele, and 2 strats. and now this BMG.....And I will keep it, play it gig with it and record.

    @robsg07 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    You can't put out of phase a single pick-up. The out-of-phase thing only works when two or all the pick-ups are on.
    I'm sure you know it by now.

    Don’t ask me why, but I’m pretty sure you can do more with the whammy bar than you might think. I’m pretty sure I’ve heard people play dive bomber runs and bend it back also. I could be wrong, however.

    • @TheGuitarFretZone
      @TheGuitarFretZone  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think you can do some stuff, but big dive bombs on this guitar , it will go it of tune, but the I think you can do some stuff, because there is not alot of friction with the trem and strings
