Rabs Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Thought this was interesting.. The BMG Arielle (brianmayguitars.co.uk) "Arielle’s playing reaches places I never knew existed - I believe this guitar will do the same." Dr. Brian May • January 2021 Dr. Brian May and Brian May Guitars are delighted to present a brand new addition to the BMG line for 2021, the result of a fresh collaboration with American singer, songwriter and guitarist Arielle and the first original build that the Queen virtuoso has actively contributed to since he and his father embarked on the construction of the Red Special almost 60 years ago. The new model takes its cue from Arielle's affection for classic 20th century guitar design, rocking a sleek, retro-futuristic look, striking orange and blue livery, distinctive raised centre-strip, vintage two-piece pickguard, chrome hardware and contrasting switch plate, alongside choice elements from Dr. May's storied, homespun creation - the distinctive 3-a-side headstock, familiar 24" scale, a trio of series wound, Tri-Sonic style pickups, and his famous phase switching system. Never heard of her before so looked her up on Youtube.. Shes really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twang Gang Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 I had not heard of her either. She designed (with a luthier) and built her own custom guitar that she uses. Brian May's company is now building this guitar which is based off what she did on her own - pretty impressive. She certainly can play and sings very nice as well.

Tman Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Great story. She reminds me of Jeff Beck and I mean that in a very complimentary way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merciful-evans Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Nice looking guitar. Pleasant playing too. She looks like she's bursting though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
