I think you have to be a U2.com member to see that video.
I am not sure of the vintage (Yet!). It looks to be a mono, and not stereo model. One might assume the original stereo 1962 may have drowned in the flood.
Funny Rick Nielsen has been mentioned here. Cheap Trick is playing in my town next month. (we have an indian casino). I'm considering going just to see the five neck guitar. Also for anyone who cares, the guy who played drums in Rush before Neal Peart, John Rutesy died.
GO SEE CHEAP TRICK! They might not pack arena's any more but always do a great show. Fun band - highly under-rated.
Aside from Rick's five neck, bassist Tom Pettersen is know for using a twelve string pretty regularly.
Random questions for Jeff, both of which are REM related.
1. Did you prefer them with a 6 piece touring lineup, to the current 5 piece format?
2. Whats your favirote song by them? (Mines Orange Crush)
REM were great as a 6 piece with Ken Stringfellow. They are just at great as a 5 piece with Bill Rieflin on drums and Scott McCaughey (pronounced like McCoy) on second guitar and some keys.
Favorite song... the "Green" album was my favorite for ages. "The Wrong Child" is an amazing song.
As for favorite song, that's tough because like U2, that can change over time. "Sweetness Follows" and "Nightswimming" from A4TP are pretty great. Begin The Begin from LRP is great... "Life and How To Live It" from 'Fables...' is pretty great...
There are a couple of tones on the new Coldplay record that are very "Edge-like".
I'm surprised to not hear a bit more U2 like tones out of Radiohead, as Ed O'Brien (Radiohead) is a huge fan. Be interesting if Eno/Lanois worked with Radiohead (or R.E.M.!!!)

Allegedly Nathan is a big U2 fan. I heard somehwere when he was 16 he waited in line for hours to have Bono sign his Zooroopa cassete. You have to be a real fan to have that one. ( I unfourtanately dont. Shame, it has some good songs. Stay rules!!!) Coldplay has always sounded a bit like U2 but with more piano. Chris Martin claims he can list every song in U2's catalog. Also, Radiohead rules!
a. The sunburst strat on the JT tour was diffrent from the current one?
b. What year was the b&w stra on afformentioned tour.
a. The sunburst strat on the JT tour was diffrent from the current one?
- It appears to be the same. Per Guitar World interview in 2005, it is a a 1962.
Here's a pic of the Vertigo tour tobacco Strat.
Here's a pic of the Elevation tour tobacco Strat.
Here's Edge playing the 1962 during The Joshua Tree tour. "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" during the Syracuse show. You can see it pretty good at -- 3:36-3:41 into the following video: Please login or register to view this link

b. What year was the b&w Strat on afformentioned tour.
I'm going to have to get back with you on this one... I am still trying to decipher 'what is what' in the world of Black/white Stratocasters... Edge has more than one and has had probably dozens over the years; most of which are 1970's models. I've heard 1971 and 1973 thrown around. I am hoping to get some information from Dallas about the all black and black and white Strats.
