It has a tun-o-matic bridge with stop tailpiece instead of the Brian May vibrato seen on the BM01. The pickup spacing is different - the bridge and middle pickups are next to each other like a humbucker. The fingerboard is rosewood instead of the ebony on the BM01 and the finish color is natural.

The BRIAN MAY STANDARD (BM03) was made between 1994 and 1995. The Standard has the same body and headstock shape as the Red Special but the similarity ends there.

The multiple sliding switches of the Red Special are gone, replaced by a pickup selector switch and coil tap switch . The Standard came with various pickup options: 3 single coils, 2 humbuckers with coil taps and 1 single coil 1 humbucker.
