Members bloolight Posted May 11, 2012 Members Share Posted May 11, 2012 Here is an in depth review of the Guild Brian May Limited Edition published in "The Guitar Magazine" in 1993: http://www.pcpki.com/queen/guild/review.html I remember obsessing over that issue back when I was in college! Back then, it was just starting to get more common to see anything in print about Queen on this side of the Atlantic and I thought it was cool that Nuno Bettencourt was an unabashed fan.
