Elevation

It's the usual guitar for Elevation although it's been (ocasionally) used for different songs. For example, Beautiful Day a couple of months back:

(And Elevation has been played on a different guitar in this past tour too ).

Looks cool! Thanks for the share!

No prob! I guess a 95% of the stadium didn't notice but for guitar geeks like us, seeing Beautiful Day performed on anything else than the Explorer looks so weird. Sounds exactly the same since there's a looooong effects and processing chain between Edge's guitar and the PA, but the look is totally different.

Similar to when he played I Will Follow -a classic Explorer song- on a Les Paul during the whole of Popmart (and in the first performance of IWF this year, which was impromptu):
