U2 & Guitar Gear: Q & A

Nothing out of the ordinary by the looks of it so far - only major change I can think of is he's using a Fernandes for Ultra Violet instead of the Explorer from ZooTV days. I'm guessing he used a Ric. for Mysterious Ways in Paris from what I've heard, but that'd be the only thing yet to be covered thus far - he's still wielding the blacky Strat. for Streets

He's still using a Fernandes, dunno if it's the same as the last couple of tours - easier to use a sustainer pick-up that shove an eBow onto the Les Paul or rig up the original Squier Infinite guitar conversion, safer too lol.

Originally posted by wtshnnfb01:If I recall right, he used a decade for Popmart, switched to al elite for the Elevation Tour, and then went to the Retrorocket, since the studio flood, killed the Elite.

My friend Nick has an electric acoustic, that had its electric hardware trashed, when he trusted it to railroad baggage services. It still plays fine acoustic though. He's willing to sell it to me for about 30 bucks. I hope I can rely on you guys for pointers. My main proplemn is I'm bad at remembering which chord is which. I know chords, just cant tell them apart.

Originally posted by LikeASong:Yes, Aaron, making a chord is not that hard, the hardest part is remembering its name haha I'm sure you'll make it soon, guitar-playing is an awesome world and soon you'll be hooked. I'm sure

New Les Paul ladels'n'gentlespoons - perhaps the new axe for UTEOTW or Elevation? Unlikely on the latter, but perhaps the former? Looks damned sexiful though :M
