Brian May's Red Special: The Story of the Home-Made Guitar That Rocked Queen and the World

By Simon Bradley and Brian May

In 1963, Brian May and his father started to build the Red Special--an electric guitar meant to outperform anything commercially made. Here, Brian talks about his one-of-a-kind instrument, which he played on every single Queen album and during the band's amazing shows. Along with original diagrams, sketches, and notes, May includes a great selection of photographs of himself with the guitar as well as close-ups and X-rays.
