iv noticed the guitar The Edge uses in The Fly (wow, The Edge and The fly :huh: )m is a black guitar with the Vertigo circles on it. im wondering,

why does he use it in a song that wasnt off HTDAAB, but uses it on a song off whatever album it is (i forgot!)

if its a vertigo guitar it should be used on Vertigo/COBL/SYCMIOYO/OOTS/LAPOE etc etc.

dont you think that would make sense?

Well, it's an acoustic guitar, a Variax, which is why he doesn't use it for HTDAAB songs. He uses the same model, with a different look, for LAPOE, which I agree doesn't make sense. But the guitars he uses for HTDAAB songs aren't nearly as able to be painted and all. I do think the style he uses for The Fly would make more sense with LAPOE, though.
 
Re: Re: Vertigo Electric Guitar

Yeah, what I'm wondering is why they don't use a guitar with a Joshua Tree motif when they play WTSHNN and WOWY. Any songs from ATYCLB should be played only on a suitcase/heart motif'd guitar.
 
i think the guitars he uses for Streets and WoWY are made from the wood of the Joshua tree :hmm:



and yeah, what album was the Fly on again?? :scratch:

Achtung, Baby!

(I just love an excuse to type achtung! achtung, achtung, achtung)

i don't even know how to pronounce it :lol:
 
achtung sounds german lol!

and at least its not me going crazy!

what i think they should do is:-

Vertigo guitar gor LAPOE
a heart shaped one for Elevation or BD
a Africa shaped one for, well, One
a acoustic looking one for JT era songs
etc etc

a guitar for the song form that particular era!
