Here, Brian talks about of his one-of-a-kind instrument, from its creation on. He played it on every single Queen album and during the band's amazing shows: the roof of Buckingham Palace, Live Aid, the closing ceremony of the London 2012 Olympics . . . and beyond. Along with original diagrams, sketches, and notes, May has included a great selection of photographs of himself with the guitar--which was fully dismantled so it could be shot-- as well as close-ups and X-rays.","brand":"Carlton Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45029965004951,"sku":"9781787390782","price":1772.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781787390782.webp?v=1769204926","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/brian-mays-red-special-the-story-of-the-home-made-guitar-that-rocked-queen-and-the-world-9781787390782","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
