U2 & Guitar Gear: Q & A

Haven't gotten the guitar yet, I will post here as soon as I do. In all fairness, I cant read music anyway. Every instrument I have ever played, I did by ear. Surprisingly lots of great guitar players have done that, including my hero, the late Stevie Ray Vaughn.

I can read music, but I rarely do (I'm an ear-trained kinda fella too), so let's call it three of us

On guitarry notes, I noticed Edge was wielding the Mardi Gras Music Rising Gibbo for New Year's Day at Dublin yesterday night so perhaps he didn't buy back the auctioned '75 afterall? Or was it the '76?

Originally posted by wtshnnfb01:It was a 75. He also has a 73 that looks almost the same, except the volume nobs are a diffrent color.

My bad, '73 not '76 but yeah I couldn't remember which had the gold and which had the black nobs but yeah, did he actually buy that back or something? I think someone mentioned but can't remember who...

73 has the black knobs.

1972 or 1973. I have heard it referred to by both vintages. Silly Dallas and Edge are trying to confuse us!
