The all black 1973 Stratocaster, used for Streets on the Vertigo tour IS the SAME one that was black and white during the Elevation tour. The pickguard and pickup caps were changed to all black to mimic his old 1979 "Blackie" from the early years. One give-away? the pickup selector switch still has the white tip instead of a stock black one. SECOND and most importantly, Edge and Dallas have said that guitar is a 1973. The ALL BLACK option didn't appear until the 1975 ender Stratocasters. Hence, chances are... if it is a 1973 -- the pickup covers and pickguard were indeed white and that tends to fall in line with the black and white 1973 Fender Strat used during the Elevation tour.
no this is incorrect. The "elevation streets guitar" is still used on songs like bullet and an cat dubh. So it is a completely different guitar on streets.
