U2 & Guitar Gear: Q & A

Only thing he mentioned using the White Falcon for on UF was Indian Summer Sky and a few things that didnt' make the album.

While "used" in the "Pride (In The Name Of Love)" video, I am not so sure it is on the studio recording.

Seems the LP Custom was tried ifor "Pride..." per the Making of UF documentary. So while possible, that does not definitively shows that it definitely made the final mix. It is a good place to start for experimenting. But as the majority of live shows he's used a Stratocaster... leads me to believe that it was the major part of that song.

Edge also mentioned that riff was first played/born at soundcheck in Hawaii on the War tour. That leads me to believe that it could be the Strat or perhaps the Explorer that the song was written with... or the main idea started with...

It Might Get Loud shows Edge playing "Get On Your Boots" with the 1966 Gibson SG and at another point one of the Gretsch Country Gents. I'm not sure either of those made the final mix. So studio footage can lead the way but isn't always the final word.
