Nachdem schon länger bekannt ist, dass U2's Edge (und auch der Sänger Bono) mit Fender zusammenarbeiten, kommt jetzt nicht ganz überraschend ein Signature-Modell einer Strat auf den Markt. So sieht das Ding aus:
Bei der 15er Tour hat er das Gerät wohl selbst auch genutzt.
Preislich liegt das nach aktuellem Stand bei etwa 1700€ (https://www.maxguitarstore.com/products/fender-the-edge-strat/)
Bisher hatte er überwiegend 70er Strats in Nutzung. Hier verbindet er alt und neu. Alte 70er Kopfplatte bei mit 21 Bünden aber mit einem Modern C und 9,5er Radius. Das Tremolo ist auch ein modernes 2-Punkt-Tremolo. Der Korpus ist aus Erle. Irgendwie ne Mischung aus 70er-Strat und einer Standard-Strat. Ich denke, dass die Gitarre nicht so teuer werden sollte, so dass viele "Massenkomponenten" verbaut wurden. Interessant ist die Tonabnehmerbestückung mit einem DiMarzio FS-1 an der Brücke und 2 Fender Fat50s mit flat pole pieces...also eine Sonderanfertigung.Eine offizielle Bekanntmachung von Fender steht aus. Aber die NAMM ist nicht weit. Hier die Fakten und ein bißchen Text von dolphinmusic.
"Fender 2016 The Edge Stratocaster, Maple Fingerboard, Black
Enthralling millions worldwide with his acclaimed textural guitar work—as well as his knack for writing catchy riffs and hooks—U2 guitarist, The Edge, relies on his trusty Strat® guitar to sculpt his unique sound. This is The Edge's first ever signature guitar, and it's ace!
It's finally here - the guitar many U2 fans have been hoping for years! The Fender 2016 The Edge Stratocaster features a maple neck and will please not just U2 fans, but anyone looking for a unique Strat with great specs.
Designed in close collaboration with Fender®, The Edge Strat is his new constant companion, replacing his favored vintage Fender instruments onstage in arenas around the world. An innovatively supercharged instrument, the Edge Strat is engineered for top-notch performance with versatile tone and effortless playing feel.
A pair of special Custom Shop Fat 50s single-coil pickups with flat-staggered polepieces for personalized string response sits in the neck and middle position, cranking out versatile tone with enhanced bass response. A powerful DiMarzio® FS-1™ pickup inhabits the bridge position for added tonal balance, smoothing out the guitar’s response and boosting the output for arena-sized sound with clear articulation.
The strong, stable quartersawn maple neck generates a slightly brighter tone while the sleek contoured neck heel and comfortable 9.5” fingerboard are ideal for most playing styles, supporting low end chords and riffing along with chiming upper-register chords and leads with ease.
Enjoy increased sustain from the modern two-point synchronized tremolo bridge with pop-in arm and fully adjustable block saddles for pinpoint intonation accuracy. An elegant guitar for a refined player, this guitar combines the classic curves, appointments and effortless playability of classic Strat guitars with modern enhancements and materials to create a player’s dream instrument—a flexible music machine with timeless Fender style and authentic sound. Don’t delay, add The Edge Strat to your sonic toolbox. Includes a special black and gray tweed hardshell case.
