One of the most iconic guitarists of the 70s and 80s, Brian May is an undisputed rock legend, and the only thing more recognizable than his famous licks might just be his iconic signature guitar. This model from RS was painstakingly built to the highest levels of accuracy to May's original "Old Lady," a guitar he crafted with his father in 1964. The body is made out of oak and block board with inner chambers and mahogany veneers that were specially cut. The neck is made out of mahogany with a white oak fretboard that is stained black and a Bakelite nut. Cosmetically, it remains in great shape with only minor player wear.

Includes G&G hard shell case and sixpence. Not included: Brian May's luscious locks.
