The first video was ace

[Philly Q]

As usual, I can't see the clips.

Is it a Red Special wired like a Strat, or a Strat with Burns pickups?

+1

I'm guessing the latter maybe...

A custom built strat shaped guitar but with some interesting construction details and with Trisonics and Brian's switching
The trem arm fitted to a Hipshot Contour bridge looked a bit mad

I kinda like it - not a fan of the Red Special - but this looked cool.  Shame no sound clips.

Actually, I thought I always hated Queen but some of these tracks are making me feel I my be old enough to have a revision of my views.  Amazon downloader appointment booked...

Now that's pretty darn cool...

A lot of people who were into punk felt obliged to dislike Queen and they ended up missing out on some good stuff
For me the best stuff was from 73-80
Queen 2
Sheer Heart Attack
Night At the Opera
Day At the Races
News of the World
Jazz
The Game

Watched it now, very interesting.

The trem does look a bit clunky, as does the array of switches on the Strat scratchplate.  Cool project though.
