Description

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.

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
