Those guitars are called Telecasters and are made by the Fender guitar company since 1952. The one the Mr Edge is playing seems to be a standard model. Besides his finders and vast array of pedals there seems to be these super complex tone shaping knobs, the one closest to the neck is called "VOLUME" and controls how much signal comes out of the guitar. The other is called, funnily enough, "TONE" and is used to effect how bright the sound that comes out of the guitar.

I know that I haven't posted much on this board, but I've read a lot of good, informative information here. I frequent this board because there is such a wealth of knowledge from seemingly experienced and intelligent people. Feel free to say what you want and tear me apart but, I really don't see any reason to be sarcastic and demeaning to people who are asking honest questions. As I said, feel free to tell me why I'm wrong, but, we all started out at the same place, and we all got where we are by asking honest questions to those who know more than we do. Anyway, flame away
His guitar tech Telef Ender told me that Mr. Edge uses Tungsten & Bismuth coil pickups and has lead shielding. He apparently feels very strongly about lining the inside cavity of his guitar with clay much like some people do with turntables.
His pickguards are made of real turtle shell too. That's why Edge's nickname is "Hero In A Half Shell".

Agreed. It's petty.AndyHutchinson wrote:I know that I haven't posted much on this board, but I've read a lot of good, informative information here.
