The Edges guitars and effects

Originally posted by AAV711This may have already been asked but I'm not sure. Has Edge ever used this Fender Jaguar live or in the studio? We know he probably bought it in Manhattan circa Elevation, and we saw it in the Electrical Storm music video. Here it looks like its being used in some performance at HQ. Can anyone shed some light on this, or direct me to where it was already discussed?

There's actually footage out there of The Edge trying out that guitar in NY. I have it on a DVD. It was on YouTube but was later deleted for copyright reasons, so I was told. He did buy it in NY during the Elevation tour.

I've not seen Edge use the Jag live. He's got the lake placid blue AND a white one too. You can see it (amongst other guitas) in a piccy from the studio on page 296 of U2 Show (book)

It'd be cool to see Edge use the Jaguar and even a Jazzmaster, as they both have unique characteristics in tone. But they are both notorious for having intonation issues... well, more 'staying' in tune issues. Hence, Stratocasters being a bit more 'collectible' than the Jazzmaster or Jaguar.

The pic from Hanover Quay was from a Vertigo BBC promo show, if memory serves.

Yeah, the clip is still on Youtube somewhere...he goes to a coupla shops with the interviewer and Dallas. I asked because I'm becoming more and more intrigued by the Jaguar, and I am planning on getting a new guitar sometime soon. Thanks for your help!

Jags are nice. I like Jazzmaster more. The Pickups are great. I saw Johnny Marr playing with Modest Mouse (opening for REM at the Hollywood Bowl)... Johnny Marr was using a Jazzmaster or Jaguar for most of the tunes

Yeah he's been using Jaguars and Jazzmasters with Modest Mouse, he gets a great sound out of them.

He talks about his Jaguar and some other guitars and amps here, pretty good interview.

3. I recently watched the alternate video to Beautiful Day. Which of his Les Pauls is that? Also what kind of guitar is Daniel Lanois playing? (there aren't many good shots of it, although he can clearly be seen playing and singing)
