Nice pictures

Hmm! Is that issue out already, or coming up? I'll buy it either way, that looks like a VERY interesting read of course :-D

Was fortunate enough to play both The Deacy, the original Cornish booster  and the  Birch guitar at the last 2 Red Special meetups. Also there was the tape fx that BM made. The Cornish '82 pedal-board and lots of other iconic bits of his gear.
This year there should also be something/s  very 'special' attending........

you destroyed all my hopes -.-"

Thanks for posting, YV.  Absolutely fascinating.... I may have to buy this issue.

Yes, that was really neat to see/read.  Thanks YV.

So, is it a Telecaster? An Esquire? A Broadcaster? Each time they tell a different story... Next time: it was a Schecter, a Kramer, a Jackson or a Jag.

Judging by the title I thought this topic was about Brian's genitals!

True, but my sickness doesn't extent to the level she's gone down to. She was hoping for it, I feared for it. There's a subtle difference.

True enough. There is something VERY wrong when a 12-year-old wants to see a 60+ something year old man's wrinkly old balls!

If you are referring to what guitar was used for CLTCL, then it appears it may have been a composite of different guitars. Here is what the magazine said -

"1967 Fender Esquire

Most famous performance - Crazy Little Thing Called Love (The Game 1979)

It will be news to most Queen fans, but this guitar isnt actually a 1954 Esquire, as has been reported down the years. Its owned by Queen drummer Roger Taylor, who tells us that he used it on the track Sheer Heart Attack himself, but the four bolt neck plate's serial number dates the body to early 1967. However the neck is almost certainly from later than that (its missing its gold transition logo for a start) and various other details lead us to believe that the guitar comprises parts from several different instruments

Brian May: "I never tried [recording Crazy Little Thing Called Love] with the Red Special. What happened was that we were sitting around talking about what we were going to do with the song and I said that I thought it needed that period sound - the James Burton Tele sound. I said to [producer] Mack that my guitar was pretty good at making a sound like the Tele, but he just looked at me and said, "If you want it to sound like a Telecaster, why dont you just use a Telecaster?"

Roger just happened to have this lovely old thing lying around, so I picked it up, plugged it in, and it worked. The amp? I dont think it was a Boogie..... the honest truth is that I'd use whatever was lying around. I thought I'd used a Fender amp, actually, but I wouldnt swear to it."

Other instruments shown in the mag include -

The John Birch Replica
Ovation Pacemaker 1615
1978 Fender Telecaster
Sheltone Banjo Ukelele
Gibson Chet Atkins CE
Burns Double Six
Skull & Bones Custom (for the vid for Its A Hard Life)
