    How DO you tell if the Explorer you are looking at is Edge approved 1976 Limited Edition? For those searching their local used shops...

    First, the serial number starts 00 (space) and then six digits.
    Second, it says Limited Edition

    Both markings can be found on the back of the headstock - like so:

    Much more beautiful than any kid I've ever seen lol....

    Fair point, and point taken regarding your stance towards said guitar


    But you DON'T like the SG? I love that thing! But I would also like to hear another song or two be played with it, to see it's versatility.

    I wouldn't mind hearing more stuff with it either. I must say though, I'm not a fan of the primary SG (Cherry finish), it's too "average". But I'm always one to choose guitars by the tone and quality of the guitar, not the finish. And I must say, the primary SG has a beautiful tone to it.

    I hate SGs, I think they look horrible. I dislike the pointy 'devil' look (as I call it), hence I dislike a lot of PRS and Ibanez guitars in addition to the SG - aesthetically, they really don't do it for me . Technically, it sounds great and has a good tone, no doubt, but a big part of guitars is whether I like the look too.

    the SG always reminds me of Batman, for some odd reason.

  10. VISUALLY, this is still one of my favorites of The Edge's guitars:

    You can see that the white pickguard has been replaced by a mauve-ish mirror pickguard. Pretty cool.

    I remember Dallas mentioning that he was going to be taking that on into the studio, in an interview before the band recorded POP. So I wonder what songs and if it appears on POP at all?

    Yeah, my favourite Strat. of Edge's - if he wants to donate it to a good cause, I'm willing to relieve him of it

    And still, what the fuck do you mean I'm broken lol?!

    You are broken because you can't see the 'beauty' in the Gibson SG. But no worries, we have an intervention planned for you.

    As for Edge's painted up Clapton... I am a BETTER cause than you!

    Although, if you were given the guitar, I would be happy for you. Then I'd come steal it from you... I mean come visit you and the guitar.
