ekru(278) | thismusicsux: 1980 oh yeah?!I didn’t think he played that at all on WACF tour… even though it was prominent on the cover and all. nice.
There are a few photos (Zlowz’ books have sweet ones; also the FW tourbook) floating around. Not many, as Ed favored the old Les Paul most nights for 1980 tour ‘Cradle’. (hey, btw TMS : your Mighty =vH= site is looking and sounding great, man!)

VOODOO(2376) | I don’t think I’ve never seen a picture of him playing that guitar after the first world tour.

yeah thought he mostly used the Les Paul for ‘Cradle’ on that tour. Checked the Zloz book.. I see whatcha mean. nice. 
Cool thanks again… hopefully the mighty VH site can become another VH/bootleg resource.

Hmm… which is it? I’m going to guess the white one?
Resident dickhead. I will hurt your delicate feelings.

Cut2TheCrash(816) | I believe the color is silver and not white if I am not mistaken
|
vhrob(1745) | big debate on that on all the VH guitar sites now. I have been saying it for years and will keep saying it….. I believe its silver and marroon or a metalic off white. Rob

I would imagine that it the same guitar. The natural explorer is definitely a Ibanez. I Ed had two of them, he would not of needed to borrow Chris Holmes guitar for the WACF sessions. Its got the same white knobs on it too. Also, the white version does have a slight silver look to it… 
|
vhrob(1745) | yes they are all the same one. when Ed got it it had a white pickguard and was natural wood finish like in the pic. He painted it white around the time he painted the Frank and then at some point in 78 or so he hit it with a silver metallic white type paint and then maroon and that is how we know it today.
but the pics are the same destroyer. The only pics out there that show Ed with a differerent destroyer is when he has the red one that he borrowed from Holmes during the WACF sessions. There are pics that show him in the studio with that one. He borrowed that one because his had the big chunk out of it and it killed some of the tone and he wanted a fatter sounding destroyer for those sessions.

Nice, thanks for clearing that up… I thought it was silver as well.. but figured maybe the lights were messing with it.
