Right. And depending on setlists, he does.
He's gone back to a Stratocaster for SBS. That white 1994 (made in Japan)Telecaster was tuned 3 steps down to C# if memory serves. The tobacco Stratocaster is tuned two steps down to D. So for Elevation and Vertigo, as it was the only song in C#, they went with that Telecaster. Now that they are playing "SBS" and "Pride" in the same tuning, they have gone to using the tobacco Stratocaster for both.
The ash Telecaster was used ever night that the band played "The Unforgettable Fire" during the 360 shows; as well as for previous tours.
I agree that the Telecaster Custom is a cool guitar and it would be great to see and hear The Edge play it more. I still think that it would sound great for "Magnificent" but they have not played that since Anaheim # 1. Could be cool if he used it for "Vertigo"... but he seems to like the feel and tone of the blonde 1966 Telecaster.
He's got a tobacco reissue Telecaster. It was listed in the 2009 Music Radar Online article. I think it is the same one that I saw him using in some of the footage of "Magnificent" while they were in Fez and again in a clip on U2.com from the recording sessions of "Magnificent" from the NLOTH album.
But thus far, he's not brought it out live.
Seems he's using a good variety of Strats, LPs, Country Gents, Rickenbacker 12's, J200 acoustics and the blonde Tele, for the bulk of the shows tunes.
Keep in mind, previous to "Vertigo", The Edge seemed to only used a Telecaster for "The Unforgettable Fire"; and that had not been played from the Love Town tour until the 360 tour. So from Rotterdam, Jan 6th 1990 until using the `94 Tele for SBS in 2001, He'ds not played a Telecaster live.
So the actual facts is, he's using Telecasters more in the last 10 years than he ever has used them previous. Just happens to be that he's using the `66 Blonde exclusively, of late.
Thanks for the info now i know all about edge's tele's thanks!!!
