Bohemian RS
The model that brought Carpinteri Guitars to the international limelight, the Bohemian RS is our personal tribute to a guitar that wrote the history of Rock Music, Brian May’s Red Special.
Relentless studies carried out since 2005, and the many guitars produced for our customers located worldwide, led to the birth of the Bohemian RS as you see it today.
The Bohemian RS is not meant for the collectors but for the players, for those who want to play their guitar without any fear of damage it or scratch it, it doesn’t want to be a perfect replica of the original Old Lady in every single detail, even the useless ones.
Say what? The Bohemian RS is not a 100% super faithful replica of the original Red Special?
Yes, you're right! That's why it is so SPECIAL.
The reason why the Bohemian RS was created is not to be the most 100% faithful replica on the market.
There are so many skilled RS builders out there who make great faithful replicas of the original Old Lady.
Unfortunately the Red Special is not a simple guitar, its particular construction makes it unique but not so easy to be managed by a regular guitarist.
For this reason the Bohemian RS has a simpler but more solid and reliable construction, only the best hardware we tested in the last 15 years, and this without affecting the features which make this guitar so unique:
– The Sound
– The Look
– The Experience
