I read that as Bono being an old friend and fan of Peter Buck's not Robyn's. But serious, he's a preening schmoe and all (and the two "comeback" U2 records are overrated and way too conservative), but it's not like he's Michael Bolton.

Yeah, because Robyn obviously never heard of Syd until last summer, when Roger croaked.

I don't know why he prefers the Gibson for the 12-string, but generally speaking I prefer the 6-string Rickenbacker, just like Peter does. His mainstay is a 360 6-string Jetglo. A friend of mine has the same one. He used to have a 12-string 330 as well, but that just wasn't as versatile.

Anyways, I was kinda bemused by Buck's 12-string Epiphone, too, but hey, maybe the McGuinn's in the shop. Or maybe he doesn't mind beating the shit out of the Ephiphone as much.
