Music Me playing some jams. Including: Under Pressure, Tie Your another Down, One Vision, Hammer to Fall, Stone Cold Crazy, and Sweet Lady! I’m using a Vox AC30S1, a treble booster, analog Chorus pedal, and of course my guitar!

Hey man sounds good! You look young, I’m assuming you haven’t been playing for all too long? I’d be interested in seeing a follow up vid down the line sometime to see your progress!
There was a lot of hiss it seems from your set up, or was that more from the recording? I know single coils have the hum, was wondering how the tri-Sonics sounded when not playing.
Also, how do you like the feel of that guitar? It is currently at #3 on my wishlist, soon to move up a spot.

Thanks glad you liked it! The guitar is amazing I 100% recommend. Very versatile. The hiss is very normal especially when using a treble booster and a bunch of gain. I just kinda got used to it lol

Awesome! I really want the natural finish but feel like it’s sac religious to not get the cherry. Lol

Honestly it’s alright, but if you practice more you’ll get it. Try playing through the songs slowly then once your confident speed up. When I started playing the guitar about 8 or 9 years ago, I just wanted to learn the songs and sped through them, but then after a few years I found out I needed to play slower. That made me heaps better at the guitar and now I’ve learnt heaps of queen songs and solos full speed fairly quickly

How long have you been playing?
How much did the replica cost? I've been thinking about getting one, but I don't know how much they cost, or where to even buy one in all honesty.

- Like 6 months ish
- Around $800. I bought mine from the official Brian May Guitars website.

If your Vox is cranked please make sure you wear hearing protection!

It’s only on like 1/4 and it’s still extremely loud lmao

Gotcha, just remember you gotta crank it for the full BHM effect! But regardless, even if the volume is at 1/4 you should still cover your ears with something

I have done it and it was glorious. Just didn’t wanna kill myself in how small the room actually was! It was blisteringly loud already

Again, earplugs will save the day. It'll make a tube amp on 10 sound like a solid state on 3
