Pick me! Pick me!

Maybe not total rubbish.

I have a “Godwin Organ Guitar” it is beautifully constructed but overly complicated and so heavy you can not hold it for more that a few minutes at a time. It is a huge acoustic style guitar, the internal space of the body is completely filled with the electronics from an organ.

There are 13 knobs and 19 switches. Each fret is insulated into six sections across it’s length so that the strings act as separate earth returns when they are pulled down. Each segment creates a different note from the organ component.

Every time you play a note you get both guitar and organ tunes! It also comes with a huge volume pedal. Apparently it requires 2 separate amps to work. No one has been able to play it successfully at this point.

Has anyone ever played one of these beasts? 😕

Sorry Folks,

I like both versions of the song. Not being a musician maybe I just listen to the song not the mechanics of it. At 50 years of age I am now just learning the guitar!

Please guys and gals no more bickering, just appreciate Brian May for what he is, a great guitarist/songwriter who had the privilege to work with Freddie, Roger and John.
