I honestly dont know how diffrent they sound. Question for Jeff. Is the Tele on Vertigo the same one from The Unforgettable Fire?


    As for WOWY on the Sydney video, I will have to double check that tone. It is more than likely the CAE rack wah system that was built by Bob Bradshaw and employed around the time of the Zooropa tour. But again, I will have to re-check the DVD.

    He stopped using the Infinite Guitar during ZOO TV. It can be seen in the early legs of the tour but by Sydney it was out, in favor of the E-Bow. The infinite guitar used to shock Dallas often. It was a prototype and hence probably didn't wear to well after touring through The Joshua Tree tour, Love Town tour and 2 years of ZOO tours.

    The Tele on Vertigo was not the same one used on "The Unforgettable Fire" live during the "The Unforgettable Fire", "The Joshua Tree" and "Love Town" tours.

    The Tele used for TUF was a natural finish, looked like ash. If memory serves it is a 199-71 or 1972. You could see the woodgrain in it really good. (Also seen in the Making Of The Unforgettable Fire video)

    That said, I do have a picture of Edge playing a different Telecaster than the blonde "Vertigo"Tele or the white "Sunday Bloody Sunday" Tele. The picture is from one of the Anaheim shows. (Vertigo tour). So I will have to do a bit more investigating.

    Indeed, hence why I have my doubts about that rumour...




    Doubts about which rumour?
  3. The Gibson 330TD being a drowning victim. I dont suppose the Tele he uses when they cover Rockin In The Free World(usually with Pearl Jam nowadays) is the Vertigo one?

    It appears to be the 1966 (Vertigo used) Telecaster.

    Here's a clip of U2 with Pearl Jam in the U-Jam bit.


    This from Hawaii:


    Yep, seems to be the blonde 1966 Telecaster.

    The guitar in the picture cited appears to be his Gibson 330TD. I think it is a 1959-1961 vintage. And it is rumoured to have been another casualty of the flood.

    I was saying that, I thought the flood was in 2002, whilst they were playing the Superbowl, yes? The clip I found was a video from Croke Park in 2005, hence why I can't understand it being a guitar lost in the flood. Of course, if I've got myself in a tizz, please correct me


  6. It was destroyed in the flood, but The Edge used his time machine to save it.

    Yep, seems you're wrong. Edge didn't use the Gibson 330TD at Croke Park in 2005.

    His Epiphone Casino, looks a lot like the Gibson 330TD, is it was made to be the Epiphone equivalent.

    What was the question?

    Which picture are we talking about then? Just to be sure of what the hell I'm talking about.


  11. EDIT 2 - Just grabbed this shot from a video of WGRYWH live from Croke Park 2005;

    The guitar in this particular piccy is his Epiphone Casino.

    God almighty, we're going all over the place!



    THIS picture. I screen-shotted (is that even a word? It is now!) it from a YouTube vid of WGRYWH from Croke Park 2005...I was intrigued because we discussed what guitars Edge has used for said song, and I (having not seen any pics or vids up to now for Vertigo shows with WGRYWH) assumed he used the LP Custom like he did on some ZooTV shows because it followed on from UTEOTW...

    EDIT - too late lol...
