Brian May

[~K~]

Anyone here have a Brian May guitar? Which version etc?

[pebber]

I have several (Burns, Nelsonic) and had several (Guild, Dillion,..) more before..



I think the best value for money are the Watson (Nelsonic) ones, got mine very cheap, mid-range I like the Burns (now BM).. high-range I believe RS guitars has a good reputation, and the Guild ones keep their value reasonably well too.

The Dillion DBM-04 doesn't have trisonic pickups btw!

In Germany, there's a new low-value brand offering one with a floyd licensed trem (I believe Jim Reed guitars has a floyd one also):

Is that a Burns on the left and a Dillion on the right? I have been thinking of one of of these again after so many years of their being out. I appreciate the review. Guilds were faily pricey if I recall.. not sure if they're still in the 1000+USD range.

Me too ..

I had Guild prototype #22 before.. sold it but lately I've been considering one for all the different tone options

yes and no, Burns on the left and Nelsonic on the right.. I had the Dillion prototype for a while but I wasn't happy with the pups or the trem.
Dillion made an earlier replica (DBM02V(ietnam)) which seems to have gotten better reviews.

Guild had 3 different models, so not all models fetch +1000 USD
