I was wondering what guitars does edge still play thats original......live? and how many of the same guitar's does he have? I have heard that sometimes he buys 2 or 3 of the same type of guitar for some of them.
I think he means original as in the original guitar Edge bought versus Edge's backups. For example Edge doesn't play his original 76 Explorer but has a backup for live use instead.
Nope not really. Thanks! I was kind of curious to know what ever happened to Edge's Washburn's that he used for all the acoustic songs on elevation? Why did he start to use the gibson's instead?
The Edge used Taylor acoustic guitars, not Washburn, during the Elevation tour.
He began using a Taylor 710 dreadnought during the Popmart tour.
For the Elevation tour, Edge used the following.
TAYLOR - 614ce - auditorium - 200x - tobacco sunburst finish/maple back & sides
TAYLOR - 710 - dreadnought - 199x - natural cedar finish/rosewood back & sides
TAYLOR - 814ce - auditorium - 200x - natural finish/rosewood back & sides
TAYLOR - 914ce - auditorium - 200x - tobacco sunburst finish/rosewood back & sides
On the otherhand, There are are two maple Rickenbacker 330 12-strings. The show guitar is a 1967 and the backup is a 1967. Similarly, the Fireglo Ric 330 12-string is a 1966 as is it's backup.
On what songs does Edge use a 12 string?
Edit: *E_O* was faster.
Anyone know the story behind the blackie strat?
Just the story of how he bought it. Like the Explorer story.
OffYourFace said:isn't that a Fender Lead II in the video above? I think Bono usually played that guitar live in the old days...
Sorry to bring up an older thread but I've always been curious about the black strat... isn't his original black strat from 1979? at least from '76 or later? In old photos of the guitar you can see that there's a serial# on the headstock. Fender started putting the serial# on the headstock in 1976.
I thought the black strat with the white pickguard was from 1973..
Check this early photo... you can see that there's a serial# on the headstock... barely but it is there just below 'Fender'
What do you guys think?
I just found this on google. Does Edge have more than one of the black and white strat? This one's numbered 2!
Yep. He's got a few. A 1974 and 1976 on the 360 tour. Plus the all black 1973.
So perhaps this is the '76 one, as it's numbered two.
i think it hsi 2nd main Strat. Cause the 1st is the Streets Strat
