    If it is truly a 1973, and wasn't a custom order back in 1973, then it would have originally had the 3-layer pickguard and white pickup covers.

    The black pickups and pickguard wasn't a stock option until 1975 (black being the pickguard color of choice, vs. white for 1975-1981, if memory serves).

    But from all accounts (magazine interviews from Vertigo tour through the Music Radar online article of 2009) the all black Stratocaster used for Streets on Vertigo and 360 is the all-black 1973.




    I meant orginally. The pickguard was switched to the back one. Its entirely possible he has benn using the same Strat for years just with diffrent color pickguards.

    In any case, I imagine he must have some emotional attachment to it as 70s Strats are regarded as shit.
  2. Anyone else think he should get a "Black Beauty" LP Custom?
  3. My buddy Chris made this video from last night. Edge on a 1974-ish Stratocaster. Bono on the Fender Custom Shop Tele

    The Fly sounded great. The Achtung Baby heavy opening had the whole stadium excited.

    Edge has found the 'diamonds in the rough', as 1970's era Stratocasters go.





    And yes, a Les Paul Black Beauty would be awesome.


  5. You're the one on a first name basis with Dallas. Maybe you could do some guitar "Inception".
  6. A guitar within a guitar.
  8. I know I know, I just like that "_____ within a _____" line when I hear Inception
  9. Actually the thought of going in The Edges subconscious seems kind of cool.


  12. I'm sort of having a second dinner (I know, I know...) in front of the computer while browsing the forum, and I have had serious problems to keep this last piece of chicken inside my mouth, and not spilling it over the keyboard and the desk.
