Brian May's Guitar on the Vid for Princes of the Universe?

What kind of guitar did Brian play on the Princes of the Universe Music Video? Im looking into buying a new guitar and one like that would be perfect.

Thanks

How well do you play guitar?

Im OK. Not great or anything though. I practice alot though, so i am getting better.

While we're on the subject of guitars, does anyone know where I can get any Brian May-style bass guitars that used to be made by Dillion?
They apparently don't make them anymore, and I'm upset about that, as I'm actually getting good at playing bass guitar, and I want to own one of those guitars :*(

Gibson Flying V, perhaps?

Or a copy, possibly.

I thought it was a Flying V at first, but every flying V ive ever seen is equil on both sides. This one, one of the ends is only about half as long as the other.

I have a pic of me and that guitar.. It was raffled off at the UK convention one year. Wish I'd won it.

It's a Washburn

Looks alot more like a Jackson Randy Rhodes V to me - with the horrible pointy headstock and ridiculously out of proportion bottom fin - talk about pandering to the 80s US rock audience.

Looks like a Jackson Randy Rhodes or one of the models produced similar to it. I'll warn you if you're wanting to get one that they are near impossible to play sitting down, standing up the weight proportion is awful and they are easy to damage cause of the strange shape. However, they do kick out the sound, especially for heavier stuff. I had one for a few years, but I did a p/x deal with it a few years back.

Yeah it really makes me smack my head whenever I see that video. I *love* the thing but the one bit I can't stand is that guitar.

It's indeed a Washburn Flying V.
And as said by some others: this guitar might look very cool, playing should realy 'fit' you. This particular model Brian uses in the POTU video btw, is a very early version and in fact not such a good guitar technically...

The Dillon bass-guitars: check at Dillon themselves or try eBay :-)

I'm more fond of that skull contraption he's got in It's a Hard Life.

doesn't look like a gibson...will use the 'zoom' on my tv later
schenker used a gibson yeah? - they are definitely different

It doesn't look precisely like *either* of those pictures though. I'd really need to make an overlay in Photoshop to convince myself it was one of them.
