Les Paul`s website has named the 10 top guitarists, from blues to metal, pop to rock, from stellar riffs to intense soloing that have made a difference in the 90`s. Among the greatest guitarists mentioned like Jimmy Page,Joe Perry, Neil Young,Slash and others, they listed The Edge.
U2’s guitarist changed his sound around for ‘91’s dark Achtung Baby album, introducing Les Pauls for thicker, FX-driven tones. In the ‘90s, Edge mainly played two white Les Paul Customs, from 1973 and 1975. He also has a 30th Anniversary Les Paul Gold Top from 1982 and, more recently, a 2005 Les Paul Standard. Edge has since donated his more “cream-colored” Les Paul Custom to a Music Rising auction, with Gibson then creating an exact 2008 Custom Shop replica for him.
Here’s Edge and Les Paul Custom in full flow on U2’s legendary Zoo TV tour of ’92-’93.
