Edge's 1975 Telecaster Custom

[Edge_Orchestra]

Does anyone have the footage or a link from the Pasadena DVD... it's in the bonus features...

There is footage from the soundcheck in Barcelona. Edge tells Dallas something to the effect of "give us a guitar" and he gives him the 1975 Telecaster Custom and the footage shows him playing a few things, I think "Magnificent" is one of them.

I wonder why The Edge doesn't use the 1975 walnut Telecaster Custom more often.

First time that I saw Edge with this guitar was at the 46664 concert. (Late 2003, I think?)

It next appeared in the "Vertigo" video in 2004.

It appeared on the Guitar World cover in 2005 and the Australian Guitar magazine cover in 2006(?).

He used it for "Magnificent", "Vertigo" and "Get On Your Boots" during the BBC rooftop show.

Seems to be a great guitar. Seems odd that it isn't used more. I wonder why that is?

I haven't seen them in shops or online but I'd imagine that it would be pricey. Looks like quality. I'd still love to have one.
