Inspired by Brian May’s Red Special, which he built together with his father,
and by one of the greatest guitarists of all time, who made music history with his unmistakable sound,
this guitar is my very own interpretation of a legend.
The Mayday combines authentic construction with excellent playability and the necessary punch.
A guitar that offers more than just fun.
The series wiring of the legendary pickups, combined with the chambered body design,
gives the instrument enormous output while maintaining the beloved authentic, dark, and percussively driving tone.
Inspired by the legendary Knife-Edge Tremolo,
the Mayday comes with a specially handcrafted and modified version of this vibrato system.
Its strength lies in a wonderfully smooth, Bigsby-like vibrato
with perfect tuning stability and comfortable operation.
The modified roller bridge offers improved adjustment options compared to the original bridge.
This bridge is designed for smooth live and show performance use.
The roller saddles can be perfectly adjusted for intonation, and the two mounting posts allow for quick height adjustment.
A perfect blend of visual appeal and optimal adjustability.
The neck is slightly more relaxed compared to the original version;
its fairly robust profile provides a feel that immediately gives a sense of familiarity,
without sacrificing the distinctive “Brian May feeling.” Truly unique!
