GUITAR-BMG GUITARS Arielle ...sound like Brian May ...but don't look like him!

 BMG GUITARS ARIELLE 

I can not deny I love Brian Mays tone and enjoy the Queen songs. He is a brilliant composer for both the tunes and his ability to arrange. If you ever heard him improvise or do a solo ...don't. He ain't no Dave Gilmour when it comes to improvising. But he is definitely his equal in composition. I always had plans to find a guitar ...gut the the pickguard and put a set of Burns Trisonic PU's. In short I am not so brave as to get the standard Brian May Special model. LOL

But the Arielle is virtually the same guitar with a Explorer vibe to the shape.

It is actually a signature guitar of Alternative player Arielle who played on Eric Johnson's last recordings.Check out her Bio.

The body is Korina, the whammy is Wilkinson (Suhr uses a similar one) with stainless steel saddles, Grover 406 locking Tuners and a solid steel sustain block. The PU's are as expected Trisonic.

$920.00 USD

CONCLUSION

Impressive. These guitars are made in Korea and as we all know Korea is the new Japan. PRS moved out because the price to make them went up to match the quality. There is no doubt these are equal or better than a Signature MIM Strat!!!

This if definitely a guitar to keep on your short list.
