Zooropa guitar

[EdgeFest]

Does anyone know which guitar Edge is using for Zooropa?

Haven't found a vid yet that I can see him - any ideas?

From the bootleg I have it goes immediately from Zooropa to COBL, so it could be the Gretsch. Otherwise he had about 5 seconds of switching time, which is a very close call.

I've always thought it would be either the Explorer or the Les Paul Custom. It's possible it could be anything though and I'd really like to know this as well. Hopefully someone will be able to tell us.

I think it is.
At the end of this video you can see Dallas come to Edge/the pedalboard without a guitar:

It is indeed the same guitar as on COBL. I did not see a guitar change at the April 13th show (and had perfect view with Red Zone on Edge's side).

Interesting that Edge is playing the Gretsch Country Gent for Zooropa. He gets great sound out that thing along with his rig. Although since there is pretty much a straight slide into COBL I'm not surprised he'd not change as that'd be tough.

It is his 1968 Gretsch Country Gentleman.

Per the Music Radar online article, he's traveling with a 1968, 1963 and a 2009 = 1962 reissue.)

This one is the same one used for "City of Blinding Lights" and has been modified adding a a SuperTron pickup in the neck position. This guitar has a FilterTron pickup in the bridge position. (1968's came with 2 FilterTrons).

Very cool. Thanks for posting the screen caps. That was the best looking video of "Zooropa" I've seen thus far.
