  1. Edge has a couple of Gretsch 6122 Country Gentleman.

    He's used them for: Please, Mothers..., One (Popmart), One Tree Hill (Vertigo), City of Blinding Lights, Magnificent.

    The ElectroMatic 5122 will not sound as good as a 6122. The pickups are not as good. Although you could swap out the stock 5122 pickups for a set of TV Jones Classic pickups (made to vintage specs) and it would sound a lot more like Edge's
  2. I got a great deal on a 2004 RetroRocket. It sounded like The Edge's but in it's blue finish, it didn't quite look the part.

    But after a trip to Marty Bell, it now looks exactly like the Retro Rocket that Edge has used for "With Or Without You" on the Vertigo and 360 tours.



    HERE IS MINE BEFORE THE REFINISH:

  3. Very very badass man! The black is definitely an improvement, Edge or not, it looks much cooler. Post a clip or two! I'd like to hear how it sounds NOT going through Edge's two story rig I'm guessing that's the "elite" model of the retrorocket?
  4. I liked the blue, it made it look "different", much cooler in my opinion. Of course black is much much Edge-ish, though

    It is indeed the Elite. (Elite is the only one with the Hot Rails)
