Edge's many guitars

[Estel_Black]

What is that website that lists (and talks about) all of Edge's (and many many other musicians) guitars?

Thanks in advance!

 

[Estel_Black]

Oh, and also, I'm looking to buy an an electric guitar, and of course I would love to sound like (and have a guitar that looks like) the Edge, any suggestions?
Also I can't be spending more than $1000, I know that makes it more difficult, but I could get a used guitar!

Gibson Explorer is classic Edge, good buy if you can find one (Ebay has a few). A Gibson Les Paul would be great, but i don't know if you could get one under 1000. If you really want the sound and tone, though, i'd go with a Strat. You can get a good one for well under $1000, but you'd want to spend the rest of the cash on effects anyways.

Gosh, this is harder than I thought. But where's his Goldtop LP (UTEOTW) and his Red SG (Elevation)?

Wow thanks guys!

 

[Only Alive]

Doesn't he use the Fireglo Ric for 'Sometimes'?

-Nick

 

[discothequeLP]

yeah, he does. He also uses the Explorer for Miracle Drug.

 

[Only Alive]

What's he use for with or without you on the Slane DVD? It's a green tele-looking instrument, with 3 single coils. They look like Lace Senors. The guitar looks very fender. Very like a Tornado.

And what about the red Elevation SG, where did that go?

-Nick

 

[discothequeLP]

The gutiar he used for WoWY on Slane was a Fernandes Native Pro, with the Infinite Sustain system in it that replaces his E-bow.


All i know about the red SG was that it was very expensive (around $5000) and Dallas gave it to Edge as a gift before the Elevation tour.

The Red SG, I believe, is the Angus Young Signature Edition, with special tremolo bar and '57 classic humbuckers. http://gibson.com/Products/GibsonElectric/Gibson Electric Guitars/SG Specials/Angus Young Signature/

Edit-The X-plorer is also used for Out of Control (Elevation Tour), and New York. And the same Epiphone Casino that is used for ABOY and Wild Horses is used for Crumbs.

Thanks guys.
Is Edge still using the Angus Young SG for Elevation on the Vertigo tour, or does he use a different axe?

Yup, it's the same guitar. Slightly more fuzz on the verses, though. Probably because they're playing it without percussion and bass.

"Even Better Than the Real Thing" is a great forum for this question. here is a full rig that someone posted, very complete: http://forum.interference.com/t128407.html

Yeah. I like the way they do it on Vertigo, where the band kicks in later. My only complaint is that the tempo seems a little too fast.
