The wood was from an 18th Century fireplace and I believe he and his father hand wound the pickups. I also heardthat the fireplace was struck by lightning. The tremolo was made from an old bicycle saddle bag carrier and the springs are valve springs from an old motorbike. He also uses coins (sixpence) instead of a pick. Man I love his sound!DaveChainsaw9<!--QuoteEnd</div><!--QuoteEEndThe pickups were a set of Burn's that Brian reversed the windings on to help with 60 cycle hum. I've had the Burn's copy (which is now Brian May Guitars) as well as the Guild, and both were pretty cheesy guitars. The BEST replica out is made by RS guitars in Arizona, but they aren't cheap. Best thing to do is find a guitar you really like and wire the middle position out of phase. Instant Brian May tone.
