I was planning on getting my 1993 Guild BHM Signature Pro guitar rewired and having new pickups fitted as it was very noisy when you turned the volume or tone controls. So as insurance, in case it went pear-shaped, I picked up one of the current Korean made Brian May guitars (formally marketed by Burns). After ordering it I was able to clean out the pots on the Guild so that the noise problem has gone away. So I probably don’t need the new one. Having said that it’s really nice to play. If anything I like the action better than the Guild. The finger board is slicker and the frets are prouder (it is new after all). It’s much easier to do string bends on the new one. Sound wise they are almost identical. So I might keep it! And maybe sell the Guild.
