Total Protection & The Perfect Fit

Bearing the famous Brian May Guitars logo and engineered specifically to accommodate the unique dimensions of the BMG Special, this upgraded Liteflite Pro II case, made in England by industry pioneers Hiscox, features a super-tough outer shell, form-fitting, velour lined interior, flightcase style handle, rigid aluminium valance, and secure five-point closure.

Hiscox Triple Shield Technology

Crush Strength: Can withstand an immense 500kg (½ tonne) crushing weight, ensuring your instrument is completely protected and able to tolerate the fiercest pressures.

Shock Absorbance: Hiscox’s unique Shock Absorbance Technology (SAT) utilizes a proprietary polyurethane blend bonded to the outer shell and lining to create one solid, lightweight structure that acts as one of the most shock absorbent composites on the planet, reducing the heaviest of impacts to safe levels and keeping your instrument protected even in the most demanding conditions.

Thermal Insulation: Thermo-Balance Engineering (TBE) resists changes to temperature and reduces rapid heating or cooling of the interior of the case. This essential technology helps prevent stringed instruments losing their tuning through expansion or contraction, meaning that your instrument stays in tune longer whatever the weather conditions.

For players on the move, this exclusive custom case is an essential extra for the classic Antique Cherry BMG Special, as well as for all LE Series and Art Series and Left Handed models.

The BMG Liteflite Pro II Custom Fitted Case Features

EXTERIOR Waterproof, colorfast, UV stable, scuff and scrape resistant ABS plastic outer shell provides enhanced crush, puncture, and impact resistance
INTERIOR Custom moulded, single bonded, polyurethane cellular foam for improved shock absorption and thermal insulation
LINING Non-shedding, 100% colourfast crushed velour with additional cushion padding for optimal fit
HANDLE Flightcase style, double stitched
SEAL Rigid, double-lipped, hand-fitted, weather-proof aluminium valance
FASTENING 3 x 100% nickel plated steel hinges / 5 x 100% nickel plated steel latches (1 lockable)

MAXIMUM WIDTH Approx. 40cm (15.75")

For over 20 years, Hiscox Cases have consistently provided total protection and the perfect fit for all our instruments whilst delivering and transporting them, safely and stylishly, all over the world.

Founded in the UK in 1985, the Hiscox team has established a worldwide reputation for excellence with a range of superior quality, lightweight, composite moulded instrument cases that offers robust and affordable protection and they have yet again proved to be perfect partners for the development of this new, upgraded version of the best-selling BMG fitted case.

Hiscox Liteflite 'Triple Shield Technology' construction combines a moulded, impact resistant, Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) outer shell, bonded directly to a padded, velour lined, form-fitted inner foam moulding.

ABS, due to its unique balance of properties, produces mouldings which possess superior strength, durability and rigidity over a wide temperature range and, on our new 2022 cases, the thickness of this outer shell (normally 1.5mm) has been increased by 33%, providing twice the puncture and impact resistance compared with our previous standard specification.

The interior, custom moulded using a proprietary polyurethane insulating foam developed by Hiscox, has also been thickened considerably for this new iteration. Although feather-light, the blended material's semi-rigid cellular structure offers an extremely high level of shock-resistance. The unique bonding of the inner moulding to the outer shell adds matchless structural integrity and enormous crush strength resistance (up to 500kg) as well as excellent thermal protection for your instrument against environmental changes

The case lining is completed with a deep-pile, non-shedding, velvet plush fabric bonded directly onto the shaped foam moulding (without secondary adhesive) giving a neatly tailored, luxurious feel and a snug, secure fit. Additional internal padding further improves the custom fit, cushioning the instrument more effectively, and reducing the potential for movement in transit.

The aluminium valance of the case edging is unique to Hiscox, its design not only increasing the strength of the case, but also ensuring a positive location of base to lid when the two halves are closed. Unlike any other case available on the market, the valance extends deep inside the case behind the plastic shell, into which all the hardware (handle, catches, hinges etc.) is riveted. This method of fixing greatly reduces the possibility of fittings working loose.

Good material, beautiful, it was interesting to add to the guitar, I don't regret the purchase, but as long as the customs fees remain the same, I won't buy again in the UK. The taxes to be paid in Portugal are at a prohibited amount, the importation was extremely expensive.

Thanks for the prompt delivery. Case looks great. I'm buying-in incrementally. I hope to put it to use in summer 2023 as I'm saving to purchase a BMG Special.

Shipping costs make it a bit of a reach given inflation all-around.

Everything about dealing with BMG feels great to me as a customer. I appreciate your focus on customer service - seems to be a lost art these days.

A BIG thank you!

Hi Hiscox & Brian May Guitars

I just wanted to share a story with you, and say a big thank you!

I recently had a house fire - sunlight focused by a shaving mirror of all things. The middle floor of my small terraced house in Salisbury was ablaze for around 15 minutes before the firemen put it out.

Despite returning from a band practise the previous day and not unpacking, I thought my guitars on the third floor landing, only 2m directly above the fire, would be ruined and an Ibanez and Epiphone were pretty badly damaged mostly from smoke & water (despite being in their own branded cases).

However, my Brian May Special in its Hiscox case was practically unscathed, despite also being stood on by a firefighter (see attached photo) and subject to so much heat, smoke and water!



So I wanted to say a big thank you, and I will certainly be using Hiscox in the future!

Cheers, Richard

Needed this quickly for it to help protect my BMG Special during my move to Thailand.

Service was great and delivery was well within what was a VERY tight deadline before we left the UK.

Many thanks!

I wasn't going to risk a guitar like the BMG special without a hard case. The signature in the caes itself was a nice touch.

Snug case
02 February 2022  | 

This case offers good protection for the Special which fits in snugly, when closed, there is no movement of the instrument. The internal box pocket is a useful addition for those essential bits & pieces, I'm very happy with this case which I think is a must to protect a guitar of this quality.

I have had my Red Special since 2003, it's actually a Burns model, but I've never had a case for it. I'm happy that Brian May Guitars has such a sturdy case that fits well and protects the guitar.

Highly recommended!

Very pleased with the hard case for my BMG Special. As good as I expected. While the soft carry case the guitar came in is good quality, I do like to use a hard case and consider the purchase very worth while.

The hard case I have wanted for 13 years
26 June 2021  | 

I have owned a BMG since 2008. When I purchased it, the only available option was a gig bag. To be fair, it was a durable, versatile gig bag with many storage pockets, but still a gig bag. Ten years later, I discovered that Brian May Guitars sold hard shell cases, but only to UK and EU-based customers. Recently, I discovered that US shipping was an option. I went to the website, spent a few minutes creating an account, and ordered a case. I expected a long wait due to international shipping, supply backlogs, and similar. Instead, I received prompt email communications telling me that my order was received, and the order would soon be filled. Within a week, I was told the order was completed and would be shipped to the US. I was given a tracking number and options to track every step of the process, including Customs handling. I was even given the option to change the shipping day if the original date was inconvenient. A week after shipment commenced, my case arrived at my home.

The case itself fit the guitar perfectly and is in immaculate condition. The storage pocket in the interior is large enough to store spare strings, a tuner, and other things one would keep in a case. In short, I love the case, and highly recommend it for anyone who owns a BMG, especially someone who travels or gigs regularly.
