jimmiJAMM Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Brian May (lead guitarist for Queen) and his dad basically made his famous red guitar out of odd bits & pieces lying about. Whattya think, Blackie... impressed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twiz Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 I love this guitar. It's truly an original, just like Queen. Brian May is one of those players that is on another level. I mean, how many other famous rock stars are also astrophysicists? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanvillRob Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 LJMU's Chancellor, Dr Brian May officiated for the first time at the University's graduation ceremony on Wednesday 23 July 2008. I'd think Dr. May putting some guitar pieces together would be one of the LEAST impressive achievements in his life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundergod Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Brian is one of my favourite guitar players, and his guitar is one of the guitars I like the most (I like it better than les pauls so that you know) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbonesullivan Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 I really REALLY want to pick up one of the brian May guitars they are producing now, but I keep hearing about quality issues and such. I have considered having a strat-type guitar set up with the switching scheme he uses for the three pickups, which is three on/off switches, and three phase switches, all wired in series.

deepblue Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 The first 5 or 6 Queen albums were amazing....I still put them on the player to this day. No one did it like Queen, and Mercurys voice in the early days was perfect for that genre of rock music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmiJAMM Posted May 7, 2010 Author Share Posted May 7, 2010 I remember when Jazz and The Game were released. Great albums! Fat Bottomed Girls is a true classic and fun to rip on in Drop D tuning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
