Quote related to 'Long Away' from 'A Day At The Races'

Long Away is a Burns [sic] 12-string. I couldn't play Rickenbackers because the necks are too thin. I like a very fat and wide neck. My fingers only work in that situation. I always wanted to play a Rickenbacker - because John Lennon did. Roger collects extremely fucking rare guitars, and he has a Rickenbacker. But I can't play it.

Brian May; Guitar World, October 1998
