    Options are:


    Gretsch G5421 Jet Club in firebird red, for 270€: http://www.malaga8.com/gretsch-g5421-electromatic-jet-club-rw-firebird-red-p-18525.html

    Ibanez SA260 in natural, 180€: http://www.guitarristas.info/anuncios/vendo-ibanez-sa/425312

    Ibanez SZ320 natural, 250€: http://www.guitarristas.info/anuncios/ibanez-sz-320-natural/436481

    Cort M200 with Dimarzio's in wine red, 200€: http://www.guitarristas.info/anuncios/cort-m200-dimarzio/439034

    Michael Kerry Patriot Limited in natural, for 350€: http://www.guitarristas.info/anuncios/michael-kelly-patriot-limited/441162


    Pretty different among them, I know, but all of them have humbuckers and single coils (or dual-coil humbuckers) for the sake of versatility, and all of them look neat Any suggestions for what should I go for? The Michael Kerry is probably the best option for a long term guitar, but then again I would be just as scared to bump it as with my '89 american Strat I have a soft spot for the Ibanez SA-260 as it looks so Mark Knopfler/Santana-ish...


    Finally went for the SA-260 because the seller left it for 150 plus shipping, which was a deal breaker. I just couldn't go wrong for that money - and I didn't. God it sounds and looks absolutely terrific.




    The black Ibanez is arriving today, I might sell it since it will be pretty similar spec wise to the SA260 - and much less gorgeous
  2. what's the deal with these guitars? I might be wrong, but I think I haven't seen him use these before this tour?



  3. Apparently he acquired a bunch of custom shop strats for this tour.
  4. Our friend Jeff (anstratdubh) spoke to Dallas and it seems Edge bought a shitload of new (well, probably "not new" but you get it - new to him) guitars for this tour, mostly everything he's playing on stage is new to him.
  5. I wonder why. did he suddenly get scared his old gems might fall apart this tour?
  6. I guess being abundantly rained over the last tour and a couple of accidents did help him realize he just doesn't need to bring all his gems on tour all the time



  7. I wanted to sell the black Ibanez when it arrived but it plays great and well, for the money it costs it's pretty much an unbeatable axe (and it looks great).


  8. Do you guys use multi-effect pedals or standalone pedals?

    I'm in the market for some pedals and I'm not sure whether I should go for a standalone(such as a Memory Man/Boy/Toy) over a multi-effects unit. Of course I know you get more bang for your buck with multi-effects but what are they like sound-wise?
  9. Most of us use both. I'd say multi-effects are fine for fiddling around and have fun at home, recording covers, experiments, but give somewhat of an "artificial" sound (very subtle and certainly debatable)... While standalone pedals are more expensive but also more reliable and more natural sounding, so more suitable for live concerts and professional studio recording.

    I personally have a very versatile multieffect unit (Zoom G2.1Nu with looper and very good range of effects) and several pedals (Boss SD-1 for overdrive and PS-2 for delay, Pro Co Rat 2 for distorsions and a Digitech WH-1 whammy).
  10. Ok. Thanks Sergio for the pointers!

  11. No problem Paul Nevertheless, as much as I appreciate your compliment, there's FAR more skilled and experienced players out there than me, and surely some of them can chip in and express their thoughts on pedals and multiFX
  12. I was playing This Is Where You Can Reach Me Now on acoustic and thought that it's definitely the harmonically COOLEST U2 song in a long long time. C#m-E to C#-A? How many times have you seen U2 do that? They definitely need to try this one out live. It kicks asses.
