Fender The Edge Signature Stratocaster MN Black

The Fender The Edge Signature Stratocaster MN Black features an alder body, maple fingerboard and neck, DiMarzio FS-1 Bridge Pickups and two Custom Stagger Fat 50s Pickups and is the long awaited signature guitar model for U2’s tone-smith ‘The Edge.’ Known for his tonal command between articulate cleans, complex effects and soundscapes, it is not surprising to find that this instrument is designed to be placed right at the heart of his elaborate setup allowing others to faithfully recreate his sounds to certain iconic songs with a few mindful effects-pedal choices.

The maple neck offers players the renowned and familiar feel of classic Fender Strat models with a balance that compliments lead playing as much as rhythm. The overall playbility of this Strat is one of true quality and is designed to stand the test of time and handle the most frequent of users.

Fender The Edge Signature Stratocaster MN Black really comes into a league of its own once the pickup configuration is taken into account. Adorning the perfectly weighted Alder body are three single-coil pickups that help to culminate in the versatile tonal output of this instrument.

The bridge pickup is a Di-Marzio FS-1 known for being louder, smoother and fatter sounding than most other traditional strat pickups while the middle and neck pickups are comprised of two Custom Shop Fat 50’s Single Coils. This offers players instant access to an isolated pickup specific for driving riffs and weight, whilst being able to switch to more articulate and clear tones with just the pickup selector.
