Dear Friends:
I'm watching a video from the tribute to Freddie and I noticed that the guitar used by Brian (from "Tie your mother..." to "Hammer to fall", i haven't finished watching the show) is very smiliar to the "Red special" but it's not THE "Red special" if you know what i mean.
I found that very strange, becouse "being the last Queen concert" i think that he would used it for the whole gig.
Does anyone of you thinks the same? or am i the only crazy to think and seen that?

Hi,
during the first seconds of HTF, a string broke and he had to use the Guild for the rest of the song. You can see it on the original TV broadcast, not on the DVD, although you CAN see John looking over to Brian and smiling (as far as I remember) while he changed the guitar.
For the rest of the concert he uses the Red Special, afaik.
Check queenconcerts for photos and further info. Any road, Brian switched to the Guild replica during Hammer because the RS was out of tune (he maybe used too much tremolo in I Want It All or the roadie forgot to re-tune it during Las Palabras), so he switched it just for that song. Of course he uses the Thinline Semiacoustic and the Ovation too.
