The Edge.  As electric on the guitar as Eddie Van Halen, Slash, and so many more to count.

On this last day of July, I do not have a set list because I honored the United States 4th.  

What I can offer on this last day of July is the edge on zZounds.

His signature guitar is a black Fender Stratocaster.

Leaving this signature to be rather broad and difficult to narrow down, my next best is -

Fender American Performer Stratocaster HSS 

Electric Guitar, Maple Fingerboard (with Gig Bag)

Music and fashion...Something about the two.

In the launch edition of Fashion Saturday, I considered Bloomingdale's and the official video for Duran Duran's "Girl Panic!".

In the second edition of Fashion Saturday, I considered Macy's and "Girl Panic!".

In today's feature, I am working with the luxury consignment boutique, Italist, and "Girl Panic!".
