We're actually an alternative '90ies rockband (although I squeezed in "Tie your mother down" in the set, especially for the BMG). The telecaster is usually the better fit. Actually, a telecaster almost always fits in any style. But the fun thing of the BMG is that it actually is a semi hollow and it produces a great controlled feedback. Combined with the whammy bar, it is great for Muse songs where I sometimes want to produce weird noises.
I do play a Vox ac 10 and built my own treble booster pedal last year, so I can definitely get close to that Queen sound if I want to.

I wouldn't describe the sound as a middle ground between a Gibson and a strat. It's very much it's own thing. There is a top end in the sound unlike any other guitar I've played.

Yeah, Teles are pretty much the Swiss Army knife of guitars. I wish I could find one that I love, but none of them have grabbed me enough to buy it.

I completely understand what you mean. It's the least loved of my guitars. It's a tool. You don't love a hammer either. But it's darn useful if you need to work with nails
 
Ever wonder about my tank on an airplane website? I was in line for a Marine scholarship for their flight program. Really wanted the Harriers. I failed the flight physical. The only color I could see was the red and green. That was a surprise. Failed two different test. I ended up a Cavalry officer in the army in the then new M1. Here is a clip that sums up my tank crew at the basic officer course. It was a strange time.woof woof.

Visited my father today. He finally started building the Revelle B25J my sister bought him for Christmas last year. He has not worked on a plastic model since to 70s, just balsa wood planes in the 80s. A nice surprise. He is just about ready to close up the fuselage. Arthritis in his left hand and he is complaining about all of the small fidgety parts. Last time he built a plane paint was a nickel and glue 15 cents. Talk about sticker shock. Offer to get him the interior green paint but he refused. The only paint he has is gloss black. I did some detail work with a black sharpie marker. I am never allowed to help and he has do it himself. I was hoping for a group build with him but no. I am just happy that is is finally doing something after several years of no activities. He was almost back to his old self. :santa::wav:
