went on that Study Of Edge's Delay site, said that Edge used his Explorer to record the guitar part for Bad. Having trouble believing it. Is this true?
E_O Do you have the rest of that interview? What other Interviews has edge done for guitar player magazine?

We'll never get these sort of questions right, we can only assume. I've heard from tons of people that they swear it must be a strat, I've had one guy who apparently was told even by Dallas that it was a strat (not to say that he might just talk BS)...and I myself get closest to the sound with my Les Paul!
The Tele IMHO sounds a bit too thin for the album version, this gets especially clear once you hit the parts before the solo, but also the intro riff just sounds way too lush with a Tele. With the Les Paul in middle (or sometimes treble, depending on how you set up your amps and effects) there is a certain ring to it that to me sounds like the album version.
Short: We'll never really know.
Hmm interesting. No expert by any stretch of the imagination, but I would never have imagined the Bad tone to be made by any guitar with Humbucker pickups..
Well I agree..are there any other prominent examples where he recorded with a guitar that uses one type of p/u..but then live goes with a guitar with a completely different type?
