Bono Irish Falcon Guitar Released at NAMM

[sue4u2]

Wow the're really dissing Bono over this guitar. I haven't heard anything about it, untill today:

So what's wrong with this guitar anyway?

There's just no limit to this guys talent. Sounds like "guitar" envy to me

Probably because Bono is not known for his amazing guitar playing ability. I think he's good, be's no <fill in name here>.

I agree. But just because he's not Les Paul doesn't mean he knows absolutely nothing about the workings of a guitar and knows what he would have in a guitar if he could build one, which, it seems he has.

One of these days I will stop laughing at the name "Irish Falcon" the press release states it was "Built to Bono's own exacting specifications"

 

[starsgoblue]

[IrishDawg]

Edge hit a wrong note?

Haha, I guess it's possible. But I thought it was Bono because he laughed with himself and the crowd when he or Edge did it. Dunno.

"makes me laugh some peope have so much bitterness towards U2 its unbelivable, if people relised the message "the goal is soul" came from the elevatiom tour, were the theme of the tour was soul, and actually helped alot of americans through 9/11,

oh and the edge, name me another upto date guitar player who has greated his own sound.......the word for you folks=jealousy"

Excellent quote from whoever said that. It seems as if most guitarist now just use powerchords and aren't very creative. (See: Snow Patrol and Green Day, although Snow Patrol does rock ) At least Edge has done something new that no other guitarists before him have done.

Except for the Flock of Seagulls fans who claim the Edge stole the sound from their guitarist

I love that guitar
