    Any clues about that Bono's black guitar?? I don't have ANY idea... Brand, model, kind of guitar... And what the hell is up with that double dots on fret SEVEN?? I thought ony fret twelve has to get the double dots in order to point the harmonics location, etc...

    Thanks in advance

    I've never been hot on what the inlays denote etc. but my acoustic has 2 dots on the 7th fret, and besides, regarding harmonics' locations, the 7th fret is also used for natural harmonics, so I don't see what the kaboodle is there? As for what model etc., haven't the foggiest mate lol...


  2. Of course. Warmoth have a reputation as one of the world's top guitar partmakers. But they are also quite expensive. I have not yet used Warmoth parts nor tried a Warmoth Strat - but I'd like to.


    October/One medley

    PS - if the link doesn't work, let me know and I'll stick it on mediafire again


    Please do that. Bad Link again.

    Ah I see. Yeah, I'd love to build my own guitar one day, but I think that'll be for further down the line lol.

    I must have really pissed someone off, 'cause I don't know what I'm doing wrong (if anything)!

    I think I'll just stick with MediaFire in future lol...


  5. Yea, that's the next thing. I will be selling my Epi LPC and my MIM Strat to go towards it though. i'm hoping to get about 500-600 for each one. The LPC being limited edition (cream coloured) and the strat having some GFS pickups. Hopefully those will get me some more money.

    Harmonics can be had at the 5th, 7th and 12th frets rather easily. Why the double 'dots' on the 7th and 12th frets of the Washburn EA40? No clue. Just a Washburn 'thing' at the time, I suppose. That and the fact that the 'dots' are red which are far harder to see on stage when the lighting is not so great.

    I know about the harmonics thing, also frets 3, 17, 19 and some others have them... The strange thing was the double dots on the 7th fret, I had NEVER seen it!! Anyway it must be some fashion stuff, not a music-useful thing... Thanks again, Strat


  10. Actually, the picture you just posted, with the white binding is a Washburn EA20. The EA40 didn't have binding.

    You can get harmonics at other frets. It is just easier to get them at the 5th, 7th and 12th frets. T'is where Edge usually gets them too.
  12. And to beat a dead horse, I have a EA20 like the one in the second piccy posted.
