^ Loved to see Edge having fun!! Is this the same one Edge used in Live 8 (Vertigo). I think it was the yellow one too.

Dunno. But Gibson SG is my favourite guitar (along with Fender Jazzmaster, but Edge never used it)!

 

[East Bay Fan]

What about the 12-string Rickenbacker (sp?) that he uses for Mysterious Ways, Even Better Than the Real Thing and Gone?

I love Edge's '76 Explorer, but I love his SG even more! If I was able to afford a Gibson SG, I'd buy one in a heartbeat.

My brother has one of those! Look at them shine!

I love Mr. Bonos forest green Gretcsh. Infact it is in my dream I'll one day learn to play and buy one with my millions.

My fav isn't Edge's guitar, but Adam's lemon yellow popmart he used in mofo

Didnt he use something similar to a Jazzmaser in Popmart?

Discotheque encore I think it was...



My favorite is the Alpine White strat (Exit, Electric co etc) as well as the black on black '78 strat (Under a Blood Red Sky)

I believe he used a Fernandes Jazzmaster, which does look a lot like the Fender.

[Edgette]

I believe that one is a Fernendes, he uses it for With Or Without You.

after I saw the video for 'Sunday Bloody Sunday' back when I was just getting into U2, I decided that I wanted a black on black Fender Strat like Edge's right then and there.

I love his Explorer too
all of his guitars are magical

edge dancing! wow...Bono may have competition...

My dad has a black Fender Strat. Pretty bitchin'. Personally I'm thinking of saving up for an Explorer. Definitely the tightest Edge guitar. the Gibson SG is definitely up there too, but I like the Explorer because it's Edge's distinctive guitar.

 

[kruz5150]

I really like the Fender Telecaster he has been using!! It just has that tone for me right now!!!

 

[the rockin edge]

so many great choices

either the cream Les Paul or the Black strat (biased here cause i have a black strat )

 

[tommycharles]

The cream Les Paul is absolutely amazing. One sounds a lot better now he plays it on the LP rather than the ES (or was that a Casino?) he played during ZooTV.

His Gretch...whatever kind of Gretch it is.....is highly underrated though. City and Please have some of his coolest guitar playing and it sounds all the better because of that instrument.

Yeah, I know it's a Fernandes.

I dont like the sound from rikenbackers. they are very thin at bass notes leaving my ears sore. take the start of Mysterious ways for example.....compare the lame live effort compared to the ground shaking studio version. same on sometimes you cant....its too plinkety a sound for me. almost sounds like them asian guitar things
