    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 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.

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    You can see that the white pickguard has been replaced by a mauve-ish mirror pickguard.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

    Rubbish, you have more guitars and financial muscle than I lol! I'm not even a student lol! I'm fairly low down the social order at the moment whilst I'm waiting for my A-level results!

    I'd be happy too, minus the threat of aforementioned victimisation lol...

    On other matters, I'm intrigued to know why Edge plays Pride on Strats., yet from watching the misleadingly titled Making of TUF documentary on the Slane DVD (aka. How We Made Pride), he's always playing one of his white LPs ('73 or '75, unsure which) when recording parts for Pride...

    Two scenarios popped up in my mind on this...

    Perhaps the LP and Strat are both on the album? There are more than one guitar track per song. Often layers of many.

    Exampe?: Walk On" is one of the two LP Customs but the solo - that is the Explorer.

    Also the studio footage shows throughout the recording of Pride. So he might have used the LP earlier and later opted for the Strat? Possible.

    Example # 2: "Desire". In R&H, you see Edge playing the 1962 Gretsch (stereo/re-wired to mono) White Falcon. Yet, Dallas has told me that Edge used an LP Custom on the final recording.

    Fact is, that Edge can sound like Edge on most anything. Look at the 1986 Self-Aid footage of "Pride..."; he's playing a hollowbody Yamaha AE2000 (later seen in R&H on "When Love Comes To Town" and in the "Baby, Please Come Home" video)

    1) No worries.
    2) Regardless of the # of guitars I have or my financial situation, I still should have it.
    Plus, the guitar wouldn't be lonely - as I've other guitar friends here.
    3) Lucky for you, I have morals and couldn't steal it. (Damn Morals)
