what can you tell me about "the Edge's" strats

back when I was a teeny bopper...I really liked U2.....they kinda lost me after "Rattle and Hum"...that flick came out when I was like 17...I was a senior in Highschool...just really gettin in to playin guitar.......but I really digged Dave Evans, "the Edge"...he was cool in my book.......

I know he had a black strat...and played a sunburst...but what do you guys know about what he played?.....cant help it...besides Jimmy Page, I would have Loved to walk a mile in "the Edge's" shoes....:smile:

From what I remember it was a 70's strat black, maple neck big 70's headstock with a black/white black pickguard and b lack pickup covers and knobs. If you get the live at redrocks dvd he plays it on that one allot. I don't have the dvd I just remember seeing there.

ya really gotta pay attention with him `cause he changes guitar after every song it seems.

I think its a 79, otherwise I can't help you, but here's a pic.

1977... (body at least) as the outside curve of the basside (upper) body horn is slightly flattening out due to a cad/cam programing mistake - and that happened in late 1977. You need to see the guitar from right front...

cool....yeah...I've seen the black strat , seems like I seen him with a sunburst one also....thanks guys

I really think "Technique" as being - You work with what Got gives You.
I mighta learned that from Ike Turner and Albert King and Albert Collins.
Bo Diddley too.
Most of "the technique guys" sacrificed the Moolah for "The Art" and paid a heavy price for it.
The Best Technique?
Turning it into a Profession.
In fact - that's the only technique that actually counts.
