My bad, '73 not '76 but yeah I couldn't remember which had the gold and which had the black nobs but yeah, did he actually buy that back or something? I think someone mentioned but can't remember who...

73 has the black knobs.

1972 or 1973. I have heard it referred to by both vintages. Silly Dallas and Edge are trying to confuse us!

Maybe they are not sure.

Originally posted by WojBhoy:Another thing - Edge is using a Strat. for SBS, looks similar to the one he used on PopMart for ISHFWILF/AIWIY/Bad, if not the same? Might make sense 'cause all of them were tuned 2 steps down to standard D (correct me if I got the terminology wrong) - check the last 10 seconds as Bono's on his knees, you see Edge in the background...

Originally posted by anstratdubh1979:Edge is using the 1962 Stratocaster (tobacco finish) for SBS and Pride. I think it is the one used for I Still Haven't Found... during Popmart. But notice he's using one of the black and white Strats for ISHFWILF this tour.

What tuning is said tobacco 1962 Strat? I will have to check the video and toy around with it at home later.
