This list was started several years ago by Gonzalo Plaza and he did much of the work in setting it up. His site has shut down so the list is now based here on Brian May Central.
Things are changing here at Brian May Central, so we can't add new names to the list just at the moment. If you have sent guitar details to us in the past few weeks, please be patient while we complete the changes. If you have new details to add, please check back in a few weeks and we will re-open for new entries. Thanks for your patience.
