Thank you Brian may!!

My Brian May BMG Rhapsody is finally here!! I’ve been eyeing this specific guitar since I was in 8th grade.

I’ve only had this for about an hour, but it’s been nonstop fun. First of all, look at the picture. It’s absolutely gorgeous! It has a very high cutaway (21st fret) and it has a zero fret up near the headstock. Most awesome of all (in my opinion) is the 24st fret! I’ve only seen three other acoustic guitars with 24 frets, and two of them are only on the high E and B strings. This is seriously awesome! Wowza!

This thing is really comfortable to play. I’m built like a yoga ball, so it’s really hard for me to play acoustics because they’re really big. The body on this is pretty small, so I can play it ok. It only has one strap button, and I don’t have one of those straps that connects directly to the headstock, so I can’t tell you if as nice to play standing, but I almost always play acoustic sitting down so it’s not that big of a deal.

The action (at least out of the box) is phenomenal. It’s really low, almost like an electric, so it’s seamless to play. The sound is surprisingly wide. You wouldn’t expect it from something so small, but the sound is so full, kinda like my ovation. Expect unlike my ovation, it’s a million times easier to play.

Queen is one my favorite bands, and my favorite as a little kid, so it kinda feels like I’m living out my childhood dream. It’d definitely be cooler if I got the red special instead, and I definitely still want a red special, but I’m extremely happy with what I bought. It feels great, it sounds awesome, there’s no string buzz, it’s almost perfect.

My only complaint is that when it’s plugged in, it kinda sounds a bit blown out, like there’s too much output. Although it’s probably because I’m running it into an electric guitar amp, so I’d probably need to get an acoustic one to be fair, but I have almost no desire to plug it in because it’d run out the battery, so it’s not a big deal either. Although I will say it sounds better than it has any right to be when running through chorus, my harmonist, synthesizer, and even distortion. Sure there is a bit of feedback, but that can easily be fixed with a rubber cover on it.

All in all, from what I’ve played, I give it a 9/10. Like I said, there’s only one strap button, and it doesn’t sound the greatest plugged in (albeit through an electric amp) but other than that it’s literally perfect. Like, my dream acoustic perfect.

Words can’t describe how happy I am right now. If happiness was a picture, it’d be the one on this post. I am just so pleased that it is as good as it is. I’m almost starting to forget I blew almost a grand on it! But those who cower never live.

That is all folks! Take care and remember..

play Lockdown NOW!!!!!!! or else you’re getting CLEANSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
