The 2020 Brian May Special in Green is a distinctive, eye-catching take on the iconic Red Special design. Built to capture the spirit of Brian May’s legendary tone and playability, this model combines classic features with modern reliability. Its vibrant green finish highlights the guitar’s unique double-cutaway body shape, giving it a fresh and stylish twist while maintaining the instantly recognizable silhouette.

 

Equipped with three Brian May–designed Tri-Sonic–style pickups and versatile phase-switching controls, the guitar delivers the full palette of May’s trademark sounds—from warm, singing lead tones to bright, cutting harmonics. The smooth set neck, medium-wide fingerboard, and responsive tremolo system provide comfortable playability for both rhythm and expressive lead work.

 

Balancing vintage character with modern craftsmanship, the 2020 Green Brian May Special is both a collector’s piece and a dependable performance instrument—perfect for Queen fans, tone chasers, and players who appreciate something uniquely their own.
