Telecaster on CLTCL

Exactly. Does anyone know it?

I've read an interview where he said that Mack forced him to use Telecatser in the studio and he wasn't happy with the fact that he wasn't allowed to find the same sound on RS... And he added that he could do it easily... Maybe that's why he doesn't use it anymore? I mean- he is Brian May and he plays famous Red Special, that's what people are coming to see... Telecaster? Why doing it? Quite frankly I don't know why he was doing it in 80s...

How could Mack force him to do anything? I don't see Brian taking too kindly to that. LOL!

Forced might be a little strong, but it is true that Mack suggested he should do it also using a Boggie amp instead of the AC30, and it has to be said Brian can only get close to the sound on the red special, to get that 50's sound that inspired the track it has to be a telecaster.

Fair enough! Good info! Thanks!

Hi zaiga: rogertaylor88's original question (shown above) didn't specify the solo, turini did in his post (shown below.)

Hi Tom: I think I read the same article that you mention. Freddie didn't write the song to showcase the RS, but as a 50s rockabilly tribute to Elvis, hence Mack's preference for the Telecaster/amp combo that Togg mentioned.

Hi Togg: Thanks for the good info :)

Hi Lisser: You're cool, baby!

I would like to see the return of the the Tele. IT was always nice to see Brian switch up for it. But since its not likely does any of the guitar gurus out there know what switching configuration he uses? What pups are on & in or out of phase for the solo?
