Don't have a photo, but happy to say that I took my Gibson SJ-200 to a luthier and wow. Among other things, he adjusted the neck and I had him put lighter gauge strings on it. Now it is the guitar that I always hoped it would be. Happy that I tried this first before putting it on the market. I will keep this forever.

I think I read in some guitar magazine that ed has a p90 below the pick guard installed to look stealthy I think that was in the fretboard journal a few years ago. Bruce is known to use gardens, but that looks like maybe a regular tele pickup with the cover removed?
Bruce's tele looks more naturally reliced that Ed's to me.
If I remember correctly from that same Fretboard Journal issue that talked about him having a high output p90 under the guard stated that Ed's tele is a real deal 50's and not some custom shop relic job.
And if memory serves me correct, bruce retired "The Tele" and had fender and his own guitar tech make him replicas of the guitar.
So if that is all correct Ed's actually has a more natural relic...what a world

Don’t know when that Bruce pic is from… but if that’s not the real one, they sure did a heck of a job replicating the grain pattern. EDIT: turns out the prior pic was from the Super Bowl 2009 performance where he brought the original out of retirement.

Here is the original in 2021…

Yeah, that’s the real deal. Saddles and pickguard have been changed. He brought it with him when he was on Colbert…

This may have changed, but I remember reading forever ago Ed doesn't use pedals? Maybe they still do, but 10c used to have a page with info on the gear used. I remember even basic diagrams of how it was all hooked up. Anyway, I remember they said Ed didn't use pedals. He sets up the gain on the amp to be on the edge of distortion. When he wants a clean sound he strums lightly, when he wants a heavy sound he strums harder. And that's how he changes between the clean and dirty sounds. That was probably 20 years ago when I read that, so who knows if that's still the case.

I just crank my tele into my Princeton with a touch of reverb and ride the volume control on the guitar. That gets 90%...the otherr 10% is just that I'm not Eddie so I won't ever be able to sound exactly like him. Wish I had a couple of tweed deluxe wired up I bet that would get me closer.
My first strat has been sold & has gone to good home & will get used live which is nice as it never left my room or the garage. Always will treasure it as it gave me the pleasure of learning something I never thought I could do.

i think you are right. back then he played that schecter tele with hiwatt amp. with 2 guitars already he did not need to do much. was basically the 3rd guitar with a cleanish, edge of breakup kind of tone to be in the middle of mike and stone.
i am not sure how he is doing it now, but his tele, that sg, and some different les pauls all with p 90s, and a few strats i think, into his old fender amps. i do not remember him using any pedals. he doesn't really need to with a keyboard and 2 guitars already.
i think his best clean tone i have ever heard was when he was soundchecking immortality on the immagine in cornice doc with that pete townshend les paul. stunningly amazing tone right there.
