    Default Brian May fans, check it out...

    The British luthier Andrew Guyton, who was charged with building some nice replicas nearly 10 years ago by the man himself, has completed this one-off double-neck. Reckon I prefer the regular RS but this one still looks nice.

    For him who struck thy foreign string,
    I ween this heart hath ceased to care;
    Then why dost thou such feelings bring
    To my sad spirit - old Guitar?

    Even so, Guitar, thy magic tone
    Hath moved the tear and waked the sigh;
    Hath bid the ancient torrent moan
    Although its very source is dry.

    If it came in green, they'd have to rename it the "GS" Doubleneck.

    Does it come with a back brace? It looks heavy.

    One-off, hence no.

    Took about 2 years to build!

    Given that the original guitar is hollow, this one no doubt is too, so probably not as heavy as most double necks out there, like EDS-1275 etc.

    Some more pron...





    Mini toggles on/off/phase for 12 side.


    12 side has a fixed tailpiece.


    Bakelite string guide, like original.

    I'll take 2. Wonder if Brian will be the owner of this "one off?" Wonder how it sounds?

    Yeah, it was built for Brian.

    Got a spare £15,000 lying around?
