Brian May guitar

[police squad]

Here are mine. I gig the unsigned one, it has been my main gigging guitar for over 2 years now.

It has Yonderbosk pickups and Gotoh locking tuners (the original tuners are very fiddly and makes quick string changes (during gigs) very difficult)

It also has a volume pot mod. It's called the 'Superpot' and is what Brian currently uses

Signed no less. Gook work! I really like the natural finish one.

yes I like the natural one too. They really do have their own sound and they work really well in rock music. I play mainly 80s stuff, including some Queen and some very clean stuff too.

Nice guitars! I have 4 myself, 2 BMG specials (one sunburst, one white), a 2016 BMG Super (bought new from BMG guitars), and a 1984 Guild BHM1

 

Love the band, love the guitars, love the sound. As BM would say ‘rock on’!

Very nice. All a bit different too. It's hard to see, but is that a Kahler on the Guild?

It is. This is one of the initial run of the Guilds with the Kahler trem, locking nut and ‘BHM’ branded Dimarzios (there was a later version with a more authentic ‘valve spring’ trem/roller bridge & Seymour Duncan trisonics)

[ezbass]

I was always a fan of the Kahler, definitely preferred it over the Floyd Rose.

[pnefc42]

The Kahler is very smooth (light as well) & returns to pitch without issue (the roller saddles help with that though I guess)

nice collection you have there

I have a BMG super on order (who knows when it will be ready) and my brother has one of Andy Guyton's Borap Red Specials.

The Guyton is really quite special

I havent got any no. It's #1 of the 21 that Andy made.

 

Does your super have a massive neck like the original?

Beautiful guitar, looks lovely 

 

Yes, the neck on the super is identical to the original RS. It is massive & takes some getting used to, but is actually very comfortable once you’ve got used to it

I like big necks, so it's a positive for me. At some point I'm sure mine will arrive
