It's hanging on the wall in the background on Classic Albums: Joshua Tree in the scenes where Edge is talking.

Hey that's awesome! guitars are awesome. i'm no expert but i think i can help you impress someone by knowing that this one is an Epiphone Casino Hollow-Body. preeeeetty!

edit: foot in mouth!
it might actually be an Elitist Sheraton not a Casino. like i said,"no expert" :S

but it is without doubt an Epiphone and a hollow body

It is a casino

He has a '66 rickenbacker 330-12 maple and a '67 rickenbacker 330-12 fireglo, has had them for a long time.

Maybe everything you say IS an expert statement, haha.

hey, sorry about over reacting upon my return to interference.

Not much, I got a file from the experts here with a few of Edge's guitars written down. Also got an edition of Guitar Player magazine with Edge in it, in which he talks about a few, and the Rattle and hum Moviebook, has all the instruments and equipment the boys used for it. So combined that gives quite a bit of info.


And I'm just a guitar nerd.

I'm blind. I looked at the wrong pic. The one he used in the clip for ABOY is not a casino. I googled the Elitist Sheraton and it does seem to be that.

 

[zooperson]

they pretty much look the same though don't they? iv'e got that issue i think. is that the one that came with the cd rom with the videos of The Edge's rig and pedals? The one with a whole lot of Dallas Schoo! i lost the cd rom though

 

[Galeongirl]

Well they do, except on one thing... the Elitist Sheraton doesn't have an obvious bridge at the bottom of the guitar, which the casino does have.. and the guitar he's using doesn't have on either.

 

[Edge_Orchestra]

^which one is this guitar??

Epiphone Casino used for "All Because of You"

 

[Edge_Orchestra]

^ Go for it!!!

which guitar is this? looks like Batman's guitar

1966 Gibson SG (heritage cherry finish)

It is an Epiphone Sheraton. Not sure if it's an Elitist, those are newer. It's more than likely a vintage Sheraton from the mid-1960's.

 

[Edge_Orchestra]

^Still you know way more than me!!...and Yeah I like that guitar a lot!!!

^which one is this? I like this one too

There there is a Fender Stratocaster. Pretty sure it's a 1979 vintage.

Edge has a few Rickenbackers. During Vertigo tour, he used a "Fireglo" for "Sometimes You Can't Make It..." and a "Mapleglo finish" (natural wood looking) for "Mysterious Ways". (Both are mid-1960's 330 models)

 

[Edge_Orchestra]

He has a '66 rickenbacker 330-12 maple and a '67 rickenbacker 330-12 fireglo, has had them for a long time.

The Fireglo used on the last tour was not the one from the Elevation tour or before. That one was destroyed when Hanover Quay was flooded in 2002 whilst U2 were in New Orleans playing the Super Bowl halftime show.

The band lost a lot of gear. Hence, last tour Adam had a lot of bass guitars we'd not seen. Hence Edge began using the Casino instead of the Gibson ES330TD... Notice it was just after the flood/Super Bowl appearance that they gave up fighting to keep Hanover Quay.

Never used it live but you can see in hanging on the studio wall in the Classic Albums: The Joshua Tree video. It was made by a company called Sever.

Ah, I wasn't sure which guitars were destroyed by the flood.

Did Adam only start using lakland basses from the vertigo tour onwards?
