Here's the guitar in question: Masterbuilt TeleGretscher crafted by Paul Waller and made to Bono's exacting specifications.

Here's another Paul Waller masterpiece, the "White Chicken", inspired by two Gretsch oldies, the White Falcon and White Penguin, the former being popularized by Jimmie Webster, Billy Duffy and rockabilly star Brian Setzer.

I guess a "Black Chicken" is also on the works.

A Penguin or a Falcon should have dynasonics in my opinion, but that's just my opinion. :P

They already did a signature Precision Bass w/ a slim Jazz neck for Adam Clayton, so the next signature model would be either a replica of "Yankee", Edge's pewter Clapton Strat with the "skulls and snakes" sticker in the body or the famous ivory/gold Telecaster from the late 1990s used on most U2 songs.

Our friend sushbone from Germany started a thread about Edge's guitars a couple of years ago:

A StratoGretscher with three Filtertrons would be interesting.

Nice mixture of a Strat with the best elements from a 6120.

@chromeface: look at this thread. It's full of EC pictures although he has nothing to do with the subject. Can you please remove this image, it would make your posts a lot more easy to read.

Thanks for your understanding.
