Who has enough disposable income to bid on his guitar? Here's a link to one of the news articles.

I believe it is the white one - he used it on every album released.

Man, I wonder how many of their songs were recorded on that machine. I'd love to get my hands on that!

It's all in the hands. Like all the greats, it probably only sounds like the Edge if he's playing it. I just watched Classic Albums - Joshua Tree on VH1 and was, yet again, blown away by that cat's brilliance. That's one of my new favorite shows. They sit at the board with the master tapes and the musician's who recorded them and dissect the songs track-by-track.

I was amazed at how many different tracks he uses in one song. And it's not overkill. All the parts are vastly different. Some of them I never even noticed until they were isolated and then you go, "yeah, it wouldn't be the same without that track". Fucking brilliant!
