My theory: That guitar is a Fender "clone" done by Fernandez. The Edge had some involvement with Fender now. And sometime in the past there might even have been a lawsuit between both companies.
So why doesn't The Edge just use a Fender strat? Well, my guitarist nephew said that it's because Fernandez is the only company that makes a sustainer pickup which is basically a built-in ebow.
Today you can already buy the sustainer pickup separately and install it but The Edge has owned his Fernandez before that was invented so perhaps he is just a creature of habit or doesn't have to change things.
I think that sound of the Fernandez guitar sustainer pickup get prominent in the guitar parts of the verse "there is a silence that comes to our house".
Again, this is all a hypothesis and a theory on why The Edge taped it. This is all speculation at best.

Does someone here own them? And which size do you prefer? Greetings 
Try eBay, that's where I got mine. The blue ones are the ones used by The Edge. 
But Zoom and Boss should provide you with good options whether you've got a small budget or a lot of cash to burn. ![[image]](http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTA2OFgxNjAw/z/zSUAAOSwjL5ZCIBu/$_57.JPG){kind=link}
