Brian May's Music Accessories
According to Couch's website May is using this strap.
Used with a 1978 Fender Telecaster Black at 2:13 for "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" live at Montreal 1981.
In a video interview by Premier Guitar titled "Why Brian May Uses a Sixpence," Brian May, the guitarist for Queen, explains his unique choice of using a Sixpence coin as a guitar pick. He details the reasons behind his preference for this unconventional pick over traditional ones.
During certain 2005 concert dates, May has been known to use custom-molded silver-nylon Herco picks, presumably using the corse grip on one of the rounder shoulders of the pick, due to his decades-old preference of the notched side of a British Sixpence coin.
During Brian May's 1998 tour, he used the Fender Deluxe Leather Wide Strap. This strap, along with another wide black strap, was part of his gear setup for an extended period before switching to a different strap. A user-uploaded photo from 2002 also shows Brian using this strap during a rooftop performance.
