Zebonka will surely be drooling at this mega beauty: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151802383565405.859089.201657545404&type=1 link link link link

This is AWSOME ! |

I love the look of the Red Special. It's been released in some beautiful colours. Even the cheaper Dillion clones look nice. However, this is an ugly brute. I can't imagine it would be very practical. Which songs would he use it for, i.e. which song in the Queen repertoire requires a quick switch between an electric 12 string to an electric six string? Long Away maybe? Or are they going to play Stairway! :) |

So that's why Jamie Moses isn't asked for the concerts with Adam Lambert ;) Nice guitar. I hope to see it in action in a month. |

That's just an incredible piece of work. Thanks for the link. Things bode well for July (a metal version of '39 anyone?!!) |

Six string to play, twelve to bat Lambert in the mouth when he starts that horrid vibrato. Maybe. |

| GratefulFan 14.06.2012 16:31 |
I don't see how Brian doesn't miss notes that way. Seems impractical. |
| matt z 14.06.2012 16:53 |
Wow. Where did these screenshots originate from? Shared with the public or has this guitar been "out" for sometime already? Long away, 39', or maybe new renditions of "sweet lady", "white queen" Or....one of the best "It's Late" Seeing how QPR was geared mainly to songs written by Bri + Rog + Paul... This tour could have a drastically different set, with a different range n all... I DO feel they're giving the guy too much credit AL...but then again, he might surprise everybody Don't see the guitars practical use for things either, but that could also depend on the electronics or if it goes midi somewhere |

To be honest? That's disappointing. Doublenecks are an awkward mess. All I wanted was a damn 12 string! (Seriously though, it would be cool to hear how the 12-string half sounds. A doubleneck is unfortunately an awkward, expensive way to achieve said sounds). |

By "practical" I didn't mean could he play it, I meant what songs is it needed for. Will be interesting to hear the results. |

Not so much slow hand as three hands... Bran should dye his hair blonde and brush it back, just to piss off Roger ;) |
| Togg 15.06.2012 07:15 |
really looking forward to hearing that, my money is on Long Away |
| bootLuca 15.06.2012 07:56 |
Have you noticed that the 12 strings has the strings reversed like his acoustic guitar? ;-) |
| splicksplack 15.06.2012 08:43 |
Don't believe this is real. |
| AlexRocks 15.06.2012 09:48 |
Gross! |
| tomcat39 15.06.2012 09:49 |
Of course it's real. Not the third hand though ;) https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151802383565405.859089.201657545404&type=1 |

The red special has a hideous evil twin !! |

so i think he is thinking of what he could do with Brighton Rock now, he has his delays and now two guitars also. |
| waunakonor 15.06.2012 20:57 |
It's booootiful. Haters gonna hate :) Brian seems quite happy with it, though that doesn't seem to mean much to people lately. |
| ludwigs 16.06.2012 04:12 |
Where in Innuendo is there any 12-string guitar??? Long Away would be great to finally hear (not that Taylor Hawkins acoustic one!!) Under Pressure could finally be played how it was recorded. Electric 12. |
| john bodega 16.06.2012 05:35 |
Long Away? Under Pressure? One can hope! |
| jeffuk49 16.06.2012 09:54 |
or 17 versions of wwry |
| FriedChicken 17.06.2012 05:53 |
They will probably play Long Away, as there will be a lot of non-Queenfans at the concert too. They always play the awesome obscure music to people who are standing there with huge question marks above their head, wondering why they aren't playing Break Free and Champions |
| Pim Derks 17.06.2012 15:56 |
I bet they're going to perform Side Black in it's entirety. With an encore of Innuendo, Was It All Worth It and It's Late. |

That is the most ridiculous looking guitar I've seen in a long time. Even Rick Neilsen would laugh at that damn thing. But thanks for posting. |

| brENsKi 18.06.2012 17:16 |
trying to work out any real practical use for it....unless it's a genuine example of art imitating life...the brian may double-neck - one for each of his faces ;-) ps - thanks in anticipation "people on the streets" for your eagerly awaited "not even slightly funny" comment....if i ask nicely, will you become my new stalker? |
| john bodega 19.06.2012 02:14 |
I just don't get doublenecks in general. Never liked the SG one either. What I hate the most would be the cases though - imagine lugging that big fucking thing around. Someone'd think you were nicking a priceless painting from a museum or something. |

| Micrówave 19.06.2012 10:33 |
No, you still gotta ditch that Squier... But this was some very clever editing. Even the 12 string special was funny. You're right, Zeb, that case was bigger than me. |
| RS Custom Guitars 31.05.2014 09:23 |
The photoshop pic is very cool but this is what the real thing looks like...Yes it uses the Tremolo system like the Red Special. link You can also do a Double Neck Model too. link |
| The Real Wizard 01.06.2014 02:18 |
Anyone got a good hi-res pic of the doc and the double-neck? |
| bootLuca 01.06.2014 03:07 |
Have you already seen this link? link no hi-res pics anyway... |
| The Real Wizard 01.06.2014 17:11 |
Thanks, but I meant Brian and the guitar the same pic :) |
| AlexRocks 03.06.2014 10:40 |
Wow! That looks so fucking awesome! :) ! |

Aintgonna help his back is it!!!! |

Asked about a single neck 12 string well here it is. Made by RS Custom Guitars 24" scale 24 frets all the same details but its a 12 string with a Tremolo that works well. Check us out on facebook. |
