U2start.com | U2 & Guitar Gear: Q & A

Well, having a bunch of great Herdim picks without any guitar to play is pretty disappoiting (or annoying!), so I hope your Explorer arrives soon, Lyndon

Me too, patience is not one of my virtues lol

Why didn't you get an epi explorer as well? Aren't they the same price as the Epiphone SGs?

ive been very close to buying more guitars, a good epiphone is about 800ish, but the money isnt whats stopping me really. I just think that when i put the guitar through the ME-70 its gonna sound exactly like the SG, but having an Explorer would still be nice i guess.

Amen to that - I'm looking for my next investment to either be a Yamaha Pacifica or a semi-hollow/hollow-body guitar, but a) I'm skint and b) I'm more inclined to get a new multi-FX pedal 'cause my Zoom has decided to die on me. Not happy, you might say!

I never liked the Yamahas. If you can get a (semi)hollow I would do it for sure, they are my favorte guitars.

Epiphone Casino anyone?

Haha, i'm sticking with just my strat for now. I've gone through about 6 guitars in the past 2 years, and I always end up coming back to my strat, it's the only guitar i ever need and want to play. Maybe down the line I'll get a either a telecaster or a semi-hollow though, I love tele's.
