Okay, so the idea is (taken unashamedly from another website) whenever you have an interesting pic, something that hasn't been seen before or just plain interesting (related to Queen...) you post it here for the general amusement / interest of the Queen population on here So without further ado, here's the first one... Here is a pic recently discovered of the model of Brian and John's guitars made for The Miracle promo video shoot, the guitar was considered too small in the end so it wasn't used, but ended up in the I'm Going Slightly Mad video instead |

is that a bottle of milk? LOL |
| Togg 29.04.2016 03:34 |
Yep old fashioned glass bottle, I think put there so you can see the scale of the guitars |

This shot was taken around the time of Crazy Little Thing being recorded, I've seen a number of possible answers as to what they were working on, but not totally sure we know for sure |

John's clearly working on having that cup of tea in the next 5 seconds; he looks TOTALLY bored. |

So interesting picture in a number of ways, first, one of teh few shots to show the backup Les Paul that Brian used before the Birch copy, and secondly it would appear that they have Elton John locked in a box on stage... |

ADATR Studio Sessions Maybe a specialist drop us a few lines to this beauty. |

"Simple Man" before "White Man". Might've been some debate on the controversy of the title. |

The old lady has just undergone a fairly big restoration, Andrew Guyton has done some great work, here is a shot pre-restoration of the back.. |
| Togg 10.05.2016 02:42 |
Here's how she looks now... |

I always think it strange that BM's guitar seems to have needed more work in the twenty years since Greg Fryer's restoration than it did in the thirty years leading up to it. |
| mooghead 14.05.2016 12:21 |
It's a Greg thing |
| BETA215 14.05.2016 14:47 |
This one is for the Argentinian gals out there. It's Charly García with Brian May, I suppose in the backstage before the GEBA concert. |

It could have done with a restoration well before Greg got his hands on it, also it did have some work, Paul Reed Smith did some work on it prior to Greg. I think things like the Rustins etc were pretty strong judging from my guitars, then when they finally do go it starts to fail fairly quickly |

The famous (but rarely seen) fuzz box once fitted to the Red Special, anyone got pics of it on the guitar? |
| Killer_queenIII 14.06.2016 11:09 |
^Fascinating stuff! I've always wanted to see what the original fuzz unit looked like, albeit disconnected to the Old Lady. Thanks for sharing that! |
