This past June, PG traveled to the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia to catch U2’s eXPERIENCE & iNNOCENCE Tour. Before the band’s soundcheck, John Bohlinger hung with Dallas Schoo, who has been taking care of The Edge’s ever-changing collection for over 30 years.
The Edge tours with 45 guitars. He performs with 18 to 20 different guitars every show and has a backup for every one of them. The Edge does not endorse any string company but has Dallas Schoo constantly experimenting with different brands and gauges for each guitar and tuning.
In 1978, on a trip to the United States with his family, a seventeen-year-old Edge bought this 1976 Gibson Explorer. This guitar was there for the birth of U2 and has been part of nearly every tour and session since. Edge now owns eleven ’76 Explorers and currently tours with three of them. They are all stock and nearly identical. And to be clear, Dallas Schoo is always on the look for more.
Fender approached The Edge about a signature model based on some of his old favorite Strats. This namesake model features a large headstock, a Dimarzio FS-1 bridge pickup, and two custom staggered Fat ’50s Fender single-coil pickups. The strap on was designed by The Edge.

He was complaining about having to tune backstage with all the amps roaring. I guess I'm a little confused why he would use a headstock tuner instead of just plugging into a tuner pedal.

I have suddenly developed an appreciation for the Edge and his guitar tech. Such passion.

@lewisgeyer1440 6 лет назад

True story: Two years ago, riding my bike past a small country market north of Boulder, CO. In the parking lot is a 65-66 Shelby Mustang. My jaw drops. Being a vintage Ford nut I have to stop and talk to the owner. He comes out a minute later and I start pestering him about the car. I asked where he found it and he said he and his band were traveling through Georgia (???...somewhere in the southern U.S.) a few years back and saw it for sale locally so he bought it. "What's the name of your band?", I asked. "I belong to a band called U2," he said. "I'm the Edge's guitar tech, my name is Dallas." My jaw drops a second, third, and fourth time. Trying to act as normal as I could I muttered something about a Squire Strat I found at a garage sale the day before. We chatted for about 10 minutes. Mr. Schoo was very accommodating and patient with all my questions. He's like the next door neighbor you can share a beer with...and he has great taste in cars.

@TavisAllen 5 лет назад

@wildcatter63 This? - musclecars.howstuffworks.com/classic-muscle-cars/1968-ford-mustang-428-cobra-jet.htm (I had to add "1960s" to my search, otherwise the search came up with the '93-'04 Mustang.) Jim Morrison's "The Blue Lady" - www.streetmusclemag.com/features/car-features/on-the-trail-of-the-blue-lady-jim-morrisons-lost-1967-shelby-gt500/ You may know cars, however you're a bit fuzzy on punctuation. In every case, you were wanting to make these words plural, but instead you made these words possessive. "Cobra's" - no apostrophe. This car may "own", but it can't own any possessions! Also, since you put quotation marks around Cobra, you should've done the same for Mustang (which was correct with the "s"). "Believe Morrison's in the video's is the King version." - "Morrison's" - OK!, but "video's" - no apostrophe "70's-80's" - no apostrophes "Tiger's" - no apostrophe

The digits (numbers) were probably the owners social security number. It was fairly common back then to etch or scribe in these numbers usually around the edge of the body. It doesn't affect value but gives the new owner a little charm that someone loved the guitar enough to bother to do this:)

@lawfreefly 3 года назад

I have been playing guitar since 1976 with my early influences of course being Clapton, Hendrix, Beck, etc, until a girl I was dating at the time turned me on to U2 and from that point on my sound has been heavily influenced by the Edge and the equipment he uses, (I know Carlos, it is like what you told me in 89 about buying shit to duplicate the sound, I hear you) plus several conversations I had with Edge himself in 82' when I saw him numerous times during the October tour. I would have liked to ask Dallas about the Edge's choice of the Line 6 Acoustic (Variax 700) setup he used on The Fly during 01' Elevation Tour, which I have not had heard him play since or on any other song (other than "Love and Peace"). I heard this live and it knocked me out especially with Bono filling the track on his Gretsch. I jam a lot at home in my studio and constantly playing the fly solo on my line-6 acoustic Variax utilizing a DM4 pro so I can get the sound just right. No other guitar he uses on 'The Fly" IMHO comes close to that sound.

@TSTBand 5 лет назад

This is incredible man, not only that Dallas has a lot of spirit and passion for what he does, and in fact i think is the most complete tasking guitar techs ever, but he his amaze with The Edge even today after all those years working together, you can see that he admires him like a fan would admire a guitar rockstar. Amazing setup by the way, i think this is the most complex setup in existence.
