U2 & Guitar Gear: Q & A

Originally posted by RattleandHum1988:I doubt this will lead to a signature though. I think it's against Edge's nature to make one. That being said, if he ever does...

Are you serious?! I didn't know that

I don't think there will be an Edge signature Fender yet, maybe when he/they retire they'll do it but not for the moment.

This is from Wikipedia:

"In recent years, Fender Musical Instruments Corporation has branched out into making and selling steel-string acoustic guitars, and has purchased a number of other instrument firms, including the Guild Guitar Company, the Sunn Amplifier Company, and other brands such as SWR Sound Corporation. In early 2003, Fender Musical Instruments Corporation made a deal with Gretsch and began manufacturing and distributing new Gretsch guitars. Fender also owns: Jackson, Charvel, Olympia, Orpheum, Tacoma Guitars (based in Seattle, WA), Squier and Brand X amps. In addition, Fender has recently purchased Kaman Music Corporation, which owns Ovation guitar, LP and Toca hand percussion products, Gibraltar Hardware, Genz Benz Amplification, Hamer Guitars and is the exclusive U.S. sales representative for Sabian Cymbals and exclusive worldwide distributor of Takamine Guitars and Gretsch Drums."

2002 MIM Standard Stratocaster. Seems to have been modded. I don't remember a black on black Fender Strat being an option for a while -- Other than in the Squier family.

I walked into Guitar Center. They had it on the wall. Used. $199.99

How could one turn down a decent Strat for $200.00? One can't!
