and now that I look at it again, John's Tele had a different fingerboard anyway...........(hm, so all 4 guys in Queen had Telecasters!)

Yeah, I think the magazine article has that mistake and it's actually a Tele rather than an Esquire.

The one Brian used to record the song was indeed different to the one he used to play it on stage, I think Peter Hince talks about those guitars on his book.

I also like the fact the four of them had Tele's n_n
John hated Hot Space. Frederick's favourite singer was not Paul Rodgers. Roger didn't compose 'Innuendo.' 'Bohemian Rhapsody' hasn't got 180 vocal overdubs.

Telecasters are great. Their sound have a real personality. Might get me one once my student economy allows it.

I recall reading somewhere that Esquires still had a hole for a neck pickup........so maybe it was a modified one, with a pickup put in.........

I once knew a guy with a lefty Telecaster, thought that was pretty cool (being a lefty guitar player myself!..........I actually used to have a right-handed Strat strung backwards, a la Hendrix......however that was where any similarities between me and Hendrix ended.......)

I think some people are right Sebastian. What you write is information we all like to read, but the way you present this information makes it dificult to read or follow, and then what could be a great source of information and discussion, is lost because people don´t understand or simply don´t want to take 20 minutes decifring a post. If you could add at least one name when the song title isn´t obvious in the thread discussion, that would be much appreciated.

It makes sense and if I could go back to April and change it, I certainly would, but the best I can offer is try better next time. It doesn't really take that much longer to write the full title (or, as you say, a word, e.g., 'Magic' instead of 'A Kind of Magic') and it's indeed much clearer.[/QUOTE]

Thanks for the reply. That would be great!

John Deacon is a mistery to me. One of the most talented musicians i´ve ever seen, yet he seems to have no ego whatsoever. Yesterday i was watching the tribute concert again, and his beautiful bass lines on the song "Crazy LTCL" or "Heroes" with David Bowie just blew me away ... again! The finesse and velvet touch just drives me crazy.

And it seems to me that he is a fantastic rhythm guitar player. John is great, i love him!
