How that guitar has survived so many tours and small gigs in such pristine condition for decades is beyond me.

[@EbonyPope]

Probably because he treats it like a classical instrument. If it's not being played it gets put away carefully. Also I've never seen him bang his guitar around like some other rock stars.

[@dihyatazim996]

it's been restored a few times I believe

[@I_Munoz]

He's playing a bmg, not the real old one

[@massimomoruzzi6604]

This one is a BMG, not the real one, as others have pointed out. If I recall correctly, during the first lockdown Dr. May was home without the Red Special, but with this BMG, a cheap Vox modeling amp and not much more. But his sound is himself, as we hear. And yes, the original underwent a full restoration by Greg Fryer and Andrew Guyton, who also built a few replicas for him. This happened around the end of the Nineties. Nevertheless, it is astonishing that Dr. May was able to design and build his lifetime dream instrument with his father when he was just a kid.

The harmony part kicks in at that point and I bet he went to play it and remembered he was playing the melody part. But I could be wrong. :)

[@uiscepreston]

Standard guitars can NEVER achieve perfect intonation. That is why music played on them has always been considered raucous, rebellious and vile by classical criteria. In fact, guitars that have their frets modified to remove the demonic off-tones sound sterile and dead.
