    The Goad Is Soul - Pickguards

    My Buddy Mike Quick at Quickguards has "The Goal Is Soul" Pickguards available. You can get silver, gold, metalflake, or basically anything you want. Just tell Mike what you need. He can make them for any guitar. These are super high-quality and made by hand. The lettering is layered into the...

    Edge in a box? Fractal Audio FX8

    From what we've been able to gather this is only a single processor unit which means effects like reverb and delay will come to a screeching halt over program changes just like the HD500X. Haven't tried one yet but will next time I'm over by Tour Supply in North Hollywood.

    The Edge's Black with White pickguard Stratocaster pickups

    You can achieve virtually every effect, distortion, overdrive, delay etc Edge uses with the Fractal Audio Axe FX II. While $2000 may seem like a lot for a single rack unit, its really much less $ than a board full of quality pedals and multiple rack units. The Axe FX even eliminates the need for...

    The Edge's Black with White pickguard Stratocaster pickups

    5.8K is the going rate for 70's era Strat Single Coils. Edge preamps his single coil guitars to bring them up to humbucker level.. which you can achieve by using something hotter like a Seymour Duncan SSL-4 Quarter Pound for Strat chain. (13+ K).

    Effects Unit

    You'd be surprised how fast quality pedals add up to more than that. Strymon Timeline + Bogner Blue = $700 right there

    Effects Unit

    We recorded the guitar tracks on this demo using the Line 6 HD500X Exclusively: U2 - The Sweetest Thing - Hollywood U2 Live on AXS TV The World's Greatest Tribute Band - YouTube It is lacking in that effects (delay, reverb, etc) will not roll over with program changes. We are now using the...

    Edge's Les Paul Customs Experts

    Gibson finishes their guitars in nitrocellulose lacquer. All nitrocellulose lacquer yellows over time (Gibson calls it "Ambering" rofl). How long it takes depends on how much light its exposed to. Some people find this desirable. Others find it annoying.

    Gretsch Filtertron H. S. (High Sensitive) Unlike the G5420 which already has the "Blacktop Filtertron" which is pretty darn close enough, the 5120 has "Gretcsh Dual Coil Humbuckers" - whatever they mean by that. Check with your Luthier to make sure Filtertrons will fit the 5120 without having...

    did anyone else know about this?

    They act as shields to help eliminate ground buzz. I have them on one of my P-Basses. Its dead silent when not playing. Unfortunately the pickup cover is right where most people like to attack the strings lol. This is a better option for an Adam Sig Bass: Warwick Reverso Clayton Signature...

    Burstbucker Pro and 57 Classic are the two styles I immediately pull out of any Les Paul. The "57 Classic" is NOT the same as real 57 PAF Humbucker. They are not scatterwound. The Burstbucker Pro is a Gibson Costcutting Device - NOT the same as the Burstbucker 1 or 2, which is the closest Gibson...

    The Edge's Blue Herdim Picks

    In case anyone is interested, I have a large supply of Vintage (circa 1980's) Blue (Heavy) Nylon Herdim Picks stamped "Nylon - West Germany" the same as Edge uses. If you're trying to duplicate his scratchy attack this is the only way to do it. There are cheaper alternatives out there like Fred...

    Crocodile Edge strap. Where can I find one?

    He uses Levy's pretty much exclusively. Most styles are discontinued but keep your eye on eBay. They pop up from time to time. I just picked up his Levy's "Torn & Worn" Military Chevron Strap for $5. on BIN. The seller thought it was heavily used lol.
