Here's Franky!

Brian May Guitars are pleased to announce the launch of our new ART SERIES, a range of limited edition instruments featuring premium quality artwork and recreations of landmark Queen LP covers, with the immediate availability of the BMG FRANK SPECIAL

This exclusive guitar celebrates the 1977 masterpiece, "News Of The World" with a stunning original image of Frank, the child-like robot with murderous tendencies from the mega-selling album's famous gatefold sleeve, his piercing, blood-red eyes staring ominously from an all-black, Special style instrument, with matching black hardware.

The striking design - taken from a rendering of the 3D animated model created for the Q+AL stage show and originally used for the 2017 Record Store Day 12" re-release of "We Are The Champions/We Will Rock You" - has been created by the Brian May Guitars art department exclusively for this project.


The BMG Super... Revisited!

We are pleased to announce that production of the BMG SUPER - the flagship model of the Brian May Guitars range - has now resumed and we are looking forward to being able to offer a limited quantity of these superlative instruments for sale on a monthly basis. 

We are indebted to British electronics wizard Adrian Turner, who will now be personally crafting genuine Adeson-spec BMG "Super" brand pickups exclusively for this project. The BMG Super and Andrew Guyton's excellent custom instruments will therefore be the only commercially available guitars to feature Adrian's work.

Please note that, while we do plan to make these period-accurate units available as a standalone set at some point in the future, for the time being these pickups will only be available on the BMG Super.

Initial quantities of the new Super were made available at the beginning of November and sold out almost immediately, so we urge all customers who wish to purchase a BMG Super - including all those who had previously requested to receive an email notification - to submit their contact details now for the new official waiting list, from which instruments will be allocated on a strictly "first-come, first-served" basis.

This will be a fairer, ordered system that will eliminate the requirement to re-register, avoid the lottery of notification emails and guarantee that registered customers will be offered a Super to purchase in due course. As soon as a guitar becomes available, the BMG sales team will contact customers personally to complete their purchase, either by credit card or bank transfer.

BMG Supports The RSBC

Dr. Brian May and BMG recently provided the Royal Society for Blind Children with a pair of signed BMG instruments for a fundraising auction and were thrilled to receive this message from event organiser Kevin McNulty...

"I thought I would let you know that the two signed Brian May guitars sold for £2,150, which is enough money to pay for one of our family engagement workers to support 2 blind children and their families for a year.

As well as this, there is also enough money to pay for 2 blind young people to take part in one of our away-days where they take on challenges such as climbing walls and assault courses. This builds their confidence and resilience."

One of the instruments is pictured right at a recent RSBC "Winefold Challenge" - a wine tasting event with a twist that has inspired the charity's latest national public fundraising campaign which invites everyone to raise money to support the amazing work of the RSBC by organising their very own Winefold Challenge.

All you will need are some friends, some wine and your free Winefold Challenge kit which is available by registering for free HERE on the RSBC website.

Inside the kit is all the information you need to host your own event including advice on planning the night, a comprehensive wine guide and ideas for fundraising for your memorable evening.

With your help, the RSBC can try and ensure that no child in the UK grows up to be poor or lonely, just because they are blind.
