Okay, I tried a bit. I'm lost I guess.
I recorded: http://sed.free.fr/clear.wav.bz2
a short quick stuff, more or less in 7 times, turkish style :-).
(except at the end)
I tried to have separate notes with strong and clear attack
on each, as a start, kind of jazzy sound (I would say)
I used the two single pickups, I think that's what the
guitarist from Queen did (there was something about
phase, no?). Anyway, I can record with other pickups.
If someone has some time to play with this sample in guitarx...
(I have gx_head 0.13.0)
or to tell me that it's not the correct pickups in use.
Ah, and there is also this button on the guitar. Looking
inside the body, there is a "condensateur" (french word)
attached to it, I guess it's kind of a low-pass filter?
I turned it up (so sound with treble I think). Well, it's
an "open" sound, that's how it feels. (Hum, wait, I don't
remember if I did it open or close...)
Reading a bit more, May's guitar has "phase switches" to change the way
in which the pickups are wired in relation to each other. Not something
you can do quickly or without a soldering iron on most guitars.
Well, I installed GX_Head. Give me hardware any day, although sadly my
amp is off being repaired, not that it would have helped in this instance.
I've fiddled around for several hours, including sort of learning the
solo. Listen at your own risk and beware, extremely crappy playing
ahead! It's not even necessarily all the right notes, let alone in the
correct order. This is about the nearest I can be bothered getting, both
note wise and tonally. It's played on three different guitars with
different pickup configurations:

This is your file played through the same Guitarix setup:

I don't know whether this is close enough to the sound you're after. If
it's anywhere near, I can let you have the settings.
