John's a good example...uses Moll guitars, I believe. At one time, definitely used Jazzkat amps.
Big things would be round wounds and the floating pickup, and not too much amp volume...just enough to be heard. Remember, Freddie was kid of there for the band even more than he was for the audience...
Neil Levang often used a flattop. Dennis Budimir used an Ovation at times...which sounds crazy, but as someone who has recently started playing one, it actually does make some sense. I'm actually playing that role Friday and using the O, larger ensemble, Christmas tune gig, then a few solo #'s/backing up a singer...I'll let you know how it goes.
