U2
What does Edge from U2 use for acoustic/ electric acoustic guitars?
Do you know what kind of guitar Edge uses in the “I still haven’t found what I’m looking for”, music video? I notice the body is thinner than other acoustics. Is there a similar guitar at a reasonable price I could purchase?
What kind of acoustic would be best for U2’s music?
Thanks!
Accordign to Dallas Schoo, Edge’s long-time guitar tech, The Edge only plays vintage guitars.
Here is a link showing photos, brands and models, of the guitars The Edge used on the last tour, including information on acoustic guitars, the specific brand of strings used, effects and delays:

The most frequently used on stage acoustic appears to be a Gibson J-200 “Pete Townsend” acoustic (blonde).
Here, too, is a comprehensive analysis on how to “sound” like The Edge: http://www.amnesta.net/edge_delay/
