its a cool guitar very unquie and great quality, Than you for watching, check out solos I did with the guitar and please subscribe th-cam.com/users/shortsWlLCF2LohYY?si=ll1RUKtZIuC5uzko th-cam.com/users/shortsPa0NNnMX6Cs?si=-VCi12X5VAnr60ah th-cam.com/users/shortsx5SS3VUYT_s?si=y9V7_GSeiCeXMh5h
It’s an amazing guitar.And he keeps improving it.The screws are black and the knobs look original.And yes I got mine from England . Only 6 days from Sussex to Las Vegas.And it’s gorgeous both top and bottom,look like one piece👌🏿😊
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.
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. ;)
I find it amazing that they put such and amazing guitar together, the zero fret, the tremelo, putting frets and how everything lined up and he still uses the guitar- amazing, thank you for checking out the video
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 am sorry, I don't have any tips, its a great amp, just tweek a little on a clean channel, if you want more info check out cameron cooper's discussion on the 5150 amp,
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.
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
actually I love Prince his music and his guitar playing, the problem is its hard to find Prince backing tracks that don't have guitar on it, I will do some more digging to see if I can find the backing track to lets to go crazy and I will do that solo
Hi, I am sorry, I did not have that guitar for long it was a friend's guitar, I suggest either calling the play where you git the guitar from or e-mail BMG guitars, maybe they can help, sorry that I could not help you- Bobby
Best way when u buy red special from guitar store best buy on holidays get discount so can get less 899 like i bought for 750 get up to 25% off think save your$$$
Why be like Brian May? Why sound like BrianMay? I prefer to sound like me.The red special is not even a nice guitar. In the 90s it was still interesting, but there is even a copy of Harley Benton.
Very nice, unique for sure. I saw one at guitar center. Thinking of getting one. Looks like fun, thanks for sharing.

I really like the back and gold special LE, if I could get that guitar on a deal, I want to get it

Did it come
Sounds awesome…great guitar, thanks for showing it Bobby!
Than you Pete and thank you for checking out the video!

sorry, I had just gotten the guitar before I did the video and was trying to figure out all the feature, sorry if it was confusing or incorrect
2 pickups series.....nice.
Nice!! Do some Queen solos with that guitar!! Want to see more videos keep em coming!!
Thank you , will do , got some Queen videos coming out this week on the BMG Special
I just ordered the tangerine one and the brain may bass, well ill get it as soon as its available in august.
That is great!!! I really like the black with the gold hardware
Guitar sounds great, thanks for sharing!!!🤘🏻🎸👍🏻🎄
Thank you Frank, glad you liked the video, than you for your support
Pains me to see that chip on there
lol
Great video
👍🏽
yes, that chip was so bad- lol, thank you for checking out the video, check out some of my video shorts, where I did some Queen songs with the guitar
Those pickups look kickass. They sound great, but they look so good. Kind of a high output type thing
they are nice
They are super high output can’t use the same settings on a amp with an strat

☝This broom sounds forbidden good 😄
I wish you and your loved ones a merry Christmas 🎅🎄☃️
YOU ROCK 👍
Thank you very much, merry xmas to you and your family and thank you for supporting the channel.

I want to get my hands on the brian may pedal, thanks for checking out the video
10s are way better than 9s anyways😌
@ My other electric is a Strat, I'll stick with 9s on that, lol
That’s my dream guitar 😍😍😍
I think Brian May will soon be working with Gibson, so these model will go down in price, keep looking on GC and Reverb, bets of luck
@@TheGuitarFretZone thanks man. Have a good day
I have one. Lovely😊👌🏿
its a very unique guitar, the history the of the guitar and Brian building it in 1964 is amazing!! Thank you for checking out the video
Nice demo Bobby,thanks for sharing. Jerry Garcia had the 4way hit ,LSD trip wired up Guitars as well.
Thanks, glad you liked the demo, it's very unique guitar
Him and his Dad,who was an electrical engineer 👌🏿
I find it amazing that they put such and amazing guitar together, the zero fret, the tremelo, putting frets and how everything lined up and he still uses the guitar- amazing, thank you for checking out the video
This guitar was set up so well out of the box I find I play better when playing this guitar.
a good set up makes such a difference, Thanks for checking out the video

congrats and best of luck, Its a good guitar and good quality, I think you will like it
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.
it was a loner, but Thank you for the info
Hello, I'm not sure if the guitar you are playing is the BMG Special or the BMG Super.
I think this one was the special, because the tremelo is not like his original, the tremelo on this has saddles like a strat
I have one .... is it a amazing guitar!!!
Its really unique guitar, Thanks for watching
That was a pretty deep dive. Very interesting. Looked a bit uncomfortable …. Let us know how it felt to play
Thanks for checking out the video, it feels like a cross between a telecaster and a les paul with 24 frets
HAPPY EASTER!!
lol !! not sure what you meant by that, but Merry Xmas and Happy Holidays to you!! also, I hope you enjoy the video
Do you have any tips on getting a good clean tone out of the 5150?
I am sorry, I don't have any tips, its a great amp, just tweek a little on a clean channel, if you want more info check out cameron cooper's discussion on the 5150 amp,
I use the joyo acetone booster
I will check that out

I know you are a rock guy but I d love if you could appreciate Prince talent and do a Let’s go Crazy solo
actually I love Prince his music and his guitar playing, the problem is its hard to find Prince backing tracks that don't have guitar on it, I will do some more digging to see if I can find the backing track to lets to go crazy and I will do that solo
Why do i need to keep my middle pickup on all the time in order to be able to hear bridge and neck pick-ups.. wots wrong with my guitar..
Hi, I am sorry, I did not have that guitar for long it was a friend's guitar, I suggest either calling the play where you git the guitar from or e-mail BMG guitars, maybe they can help, sorry that I could not help you- Bobby
What frets are you using ? An the later model have the old knobs
?
Red special in a EVH amp hell yah
Thank you
how do these compare to the 2005 Burns model? (which I have). Anyone played both and have any opinions?
I have not played the 2005 Burns model, I would think it would be close to get the original's sound
by the way you can't put it out of phase with just one pickup on, you need at least 2
sorry about that.
Np
is this guitar neck heavy?
no the guitar has good balance,
@@TheGuitarFretZone thanks
@@Silkaz7 no problem
Best way when u buy red special from guitar store best buy on holidays get discount so can get less 899 like i bought for 750 get up to 25% off think save your$$$
that is great!!
My bad effects
I am playing through THU3, its a Voxa30 with mild distortion, reverb, little delay and a flanger
Why be like Brian May? Why sound like BrianMay? I prefer to sound like me.The red special is not even a nice guitar. In the 90s it was still interesting, but there is even a copy of Harley Benton.
I have seen the HB models, I wonder how they play?
nice review going to the marc martel concert next year
Thank you!
