Brian May’s Red Special - The Book Launch

In 1963, Brian May and his father Harold started to hand-build an electric guitar. Brian dreamed of a guitar that would outperform any of the existing commercially-made electric guitars and his father had the technical skills to make the dream come true. Brian then played that guitar on every Queen album and in all of Queen’s live shows around the world. On Wednesday 1st October, Carlton Books celebrated the launch of Brian May’s new book, published to celebrate the 50th birthday of one of the world’s most iconic guitars, Brian May’s Red Special.
