Edge playing his hollow-body and semi-hollow-body guitars
Known mostly for his use of the solid-body Gibson Explorer and Les Paul's, as well as the Fender Stratocaster and Telecasters... Edge has used a decent arsenal of hollow-body and semi-hollow-body guitars by Gretsch, Gibson, Epiphone and Rickenbacker.
Here's some photos and video of Edge playing his hollow-body and semi-hollow-body guitars
Edge and his Gibson ES 330TD
The TD means thinline and dual pickups. If single pickup models would be a ES 330T
I am not sure when Edge got this guitar. Could have been something he got during the Joshua Tree tour?
I first saw of this guitar was photos from the Achtung Baby sessions and the Zoo tours.
"One"
U2 - One in Top of the Pops 1992 - YouTubeIt seems that Edge had taken a particular liking to this guitar as it did end up making appearances in the "One", "Even Better Than The Real Thing" and "Who's Gonna Right Your Wild Horses" videos.
"...Real Thing"
U2 - Even Better Than The Real Thing - official video - YouTube"...Wild Horses"
U2 - Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses HQ - YouTubeBy Popmart "One" was played on a Gretsch Country Gentleman and the ES-330TD seemed to have fallen out of favor, although it was used for "Holy Joe" at the Popmart tour launch at K-Mart

More Edge pics to come. Add some of your favorites of him playing his hollow or semi hollow body guitars too!
