And check out that strap with the vertigo strip! Once AGAIN WOOOW!


Not 100% sure on the finish. Looks a bit more brownish in the video screencaps that someone posted in PLEBA.

Interesting to see him with this Stratocaster. Black knobs look different than normal Strat; black pickups... :hmm:

Around 1:13-1:15 There is (what appears to be) a black Fender Telecaster with a Hip-Shot String Bender on it. Looks like it might be the Hipshot Standard (has the B-String Bender and the low E to Drop D switch)

Edge had one of these on a natural finish Tele in the late 1990's. I remember seeing a picture of him with it in Propagandal; around the time of Pop. Plus he had one installed on his 1966 Lake Placid Blue Telecaster. You can see it in HTDAAB era promo show clips.

It was later removed from that guitar, when the guitar was used for "Instant Karma" and otherwise during the 'Vertigo' tour.
