Key Features
The Brian May Arielle combines singer-songwriter Arielle's prized 'Two-Tone' guitar with the legendary features of Brian May's flagship Red Special. Two guitarist geniuses, one magnificent instrument. Showcased with a gorgeous, retro aesthetic, the Korina body radiates beautifully in both looks and sound. Its exquisitely rich tone teams perfectly with the full, warm, versatile sound of Tri-Sonic Style pickups.
Fret fearlessly on the luscious ebony fretboard and mahogany neck, they have been crafted to provide sumptuous playability so you can perform completely effortlessly. And you'll have a Wilkinson tremolo bridge at your control, allowing you to delve into exhilarating pitch bends or just add a gentle warble to your mesmerising chords. Better still, a gig bag is included to ensure your guitar stays safe and sound on the road. It'll always be ready for a magical gig.
Product Ref: 177999
This wondrous guitar is the first model from Brian May Guitars that is not based on the iconic Red Special, but that doesn’t mean it ignores some of those legendary features. The Brian May Arielle boasts three BM Brand Tri-Sonic Style Series Wired Single Coil pickups, the ultimate producers of a deliciously rich and warm sound. Rather than taking inspiration from the renowned flagship model, this guitar is based on Arielle's own beloved instrument. Designed by Arielle herself, the guitar is supremely comfortable to play thanks to its smooth, elegant contours and lightweight build.
Crafted from Limba (also known as 'Korina'), the retro-style body is a nod to guitars of the '50s and '60s. It also offers the kind of versatility that modern players like Arielle need to deliver an explosive performance whilst delivering a beautifully warm and articulate sound.
Complementing the resonant tone of the body, the Brian May Arielle's Tri-Sonic Style single coil pickups deliver a powerful, well-rounded tone. Each unit picks up sound from three points and features ceramic magnets and uniquely wound coils, ensuring you have superbly rich and full sonic qualities that are warmer than traditional single-coils. Better still, as well as having the choice of three pickups, the Shin Chin switching system's Phase switch gives you the same tonal versatility as the Red Special.
