Description
Built alongside U2’s The Edge himself, this Stratocaster carries his signature right on the ’70s-style headstock — a nod to the guitar behind U2’s earliest breakthrough recordings. It’s not a reissue for the sake of nostalgia; it’s a working tool refined for a player who’s spent decades chasing specific tones on stage and in the studio.
- Alder body with gloss polyurethane finish, finished in Black
- 1-piece quartersawn maple neck, Modern “C” profile, satin back / gloss front
- Quartersawn maple fretboard, 9.5″ radius, 21 medium jumbo frets, black dot inlays
- DiMarzio FS-1 pickup in the bridge, Custom Fat ’50s flat-stagger pickups in middle and neck — a pickup combo chosen to match The Edge’s own preferences for string response
- 2-point synchronized tremolo with pop-in arm, plus locking tuners for stable tuning under heavy vibrato use
- 5-position blade switching, master volume, and dual tone controls (neck / bridge-middle)
- Synthetic bone nut, 25.5″ scale, mint green 3-ply pickguard, nickel/chrome hardware
- Strung with Fender USA NPS strings, .009–.042
The flattened pole pieces on the middle and neck pickups aren’t a cosmetic detail — they shift the way the strings interact with the magnetic field, giving a slightly different response than a standard Strat pickup. Combined with the DiMarzio in the bridge, it’s a voicing built for texture and dynamics rather than raw output.
This particular unit is a gently used store demo, so expect light handling wear but full playability and tone. Comes with the included black and gray tweed hardshell case.
