Guitars used by The Edge on With Or Without You (Songs Of Surrender)
At 2:37, you can clearly see this guitar, in a custom metallic green finish. It was modified from the factory version, with a Decade style neck, and hot rail pickups as opposed to the standard humbuckers (This required a new pick guard to be cut out). It was used during the Elavation for just "With or Without you", as The Edge would utilize the built-in Fernandes Sustainer, similar to his original "Infinite Guitar" used on the song's recording. This guitar was reportedly destroyed in 2002, after U2's studio flooded.
Black finish w/grey marble pickguard (Used for "With or Without You" during Vertigo and U2:360 tours.)

Infinite Guitar is a modified electric guitar created by Michael Brook, as a way of allowing a note to be held with infinite sustain, Brook produced two other Infinite Guitars. One belongs to Daniel Lanois, and the other belongs to The Edge, who used it to record "With or Without You" and use it during The Joshua Tree tour.

Snare Drums used by Larry Mullen, Jr. on With Or Without You (Songs Of Surrender)
Yamaha SD-493 14x3.5" Brass Piccolo Snare Drum
Avg price: $1,000.00
Larry Mullen, Jr can be seen using the Yamaha SD-493 14x3.5 Brass Piccolo Snare Drum on both the Joshua Tree Tour (1987) and the Lovetown Tour (1989-1990). He used it as a main snare rather than an auxiliary snare. It gets several features on many of the performances during the "Rattle And Hum" movie, notably on "With Or Without You". During 1:37 and 2:42, you get a shot of Larry playing the kit and the snare is able to be seen in use. During every concert on these tours he used this snare, so if you have footage of these concerts you'll be able to see the snare, depending on the angle and camera shot. I believe he used this snare on the recording of "The Joshua Tree" album as well, based on the similarities of the snare sound on the record and live. On "U2: Rattle And Hum, The Offical Book Of The U2 Movie", at the back it mentions the gear each of the band members used which includes the Yamaha SD-493.
