U2 & Guitar Gear: Q & A

Ever since that guitar came out, even though I've move on from being an Edge "wannabe", I've felt the need to own one. I learned guitar playing U2, they're THE band for all of us, and throughout my time learning all their songs, trying to nail his tone and spending hours, weeks, months, years doing it, I wished they had done something like that guitar.

It's time.

Ha, so no Partscaster project anymore? I think you've gone the right route. Squiers have crappy hardware and pickups but usually good to very good body and construction. So you're actually saving the body and neck (which are usually the most expensive parts of a Partscaster if you want to get good ones) and can get better pickups.

Show us some pics when you get the Squier, and let us know how your project develops

Considering it's bargain bucket stuff, it plays bloody well. The p'ups are decent if bloody noisy, although they're still getting the boot! Thinking Warmoth Texas > Wilkinson.

Had initially planned to turn it all black á la Edge but am having second thoughts - the white hardwear does have a certain class to it..
