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?

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?

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!

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.

His Red Special is awesome, great licks played on that one for sure...

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.

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.
