U2 & Guitar Gear: Q & A

Originally posted by WojBhoyThe puns are not lost on me Jeff, a little too much along the lines of the uncle at a wedding's type of humour but still, your energies are not entirely wasted!

Nice pics of Bono's kit - I wouldn't want an Irish Falcon myself BUT you can't deny they're charismatic guitars in their own right.

I would love one! I love white falcons in general - not just for looks and design but tone. The lighter green "everygreen" never set well with me. So yeah... If they have truly gone to the cadillac vs. everygreen finish, I wouldn't mind one.

now tell me, someone who has no clue how to play a guitar, why is that?

You were really kidding, right? You weren't really offended by silly boy humour, right? Especially as it was hardly the point that I was making... the point being the guitars and effects.

Honest.

It was an "In Living Color" refrence. I wish thye would bring that show back.

I get the reference. And yep, that was a great show. But I doubt that Jim Carrey would go back to doing TV and the Wayans Bros quit the show as FOX kept intruding and telling them what they could and couldn't do and should and shouldn't do.

It just seems far too big lol. Don't get me wrong, if someone gave me one tomorrow, I'd happily keep it and look after it BUT I wouldn't get one otherwise. One thing is that I don't like pointy headstocks in general, hence I dislike stuff like SGs, most PRSes, Schechters etc. - however, I make exception for the Explorer because it just looks different to everything else and to me looks pretty swish.

Ok, Jana matey you've lost me - erm, I do play the guitar lol. And as for why I wouldn't want one, read above

I got the full series on DVD, but lets get back on topic. Should Edge start using a talkbox>

hmm, are we misunderstanding eachother now? I meant that -I- don't play the guitar, but still wanted to know why you wouldn't play that particular one (even if that meant that I wouldn't understand your explanation, but 'too big' I can understand, lol).



I just love this topic so much, even though I have no clue what's going on most of the time am trying to absorb it all though.

Oh I see, I thought you meant why would I care if I don't play guitar lol? My mistake, sorry! And yeah, there's nothing necessarily technical about why I wouldn't want to play it, i.e. nothing related to the tone, the action, the pickups etc. - it's just personal preference with regard to how the thing looks; doesn't go with me. Like I say, too big, pointy headstock and just not my kinda thing lol!
