1. I know it is for a great cause, but I just didn't want to believe that he gave away that guitar!!!
    He will never sound the same without the Les Paul...I am sad.
  2. Erm...he will buy another one?!
  3. he must have some other les pauls...but that one was special.
  4. Wow, im a little angry, a lot of great music came out of that guitar.

    Was it really the white one?

    Say it aint so
  5. which guitar was it???... can someone put up a picture of it???
  6. Let's start to collect money and buy that baby, so we can give her back to The Edge!
  7. Here's the link to ALL the U2 related items in the auction.

    Fear not lads and lasses... he's another 1970s era LP Custom (the oen with the black knobs on it. PLUS the Les Paul Gold Top (used for Until The End...).

    He did give away one of the top THREE used of his guitars but he's others.

    Also on the auction block - his 1958 ES295 Gold. Seen in the DESIRE video. Link:

    No worries. Edge lost a LOT of gear in the studio flood in 2002. He (and Dallas) will find suitable replacements.

  8. Oh shit!!! i love that guitar!!!! what's he gonna use for until the end of the world and one now??? does he have another one???
  9. Well on the plus side, he can experiment with a new guitar hes never been with before, so thats a plus.
    An he stopped playing UTTEOTW on this ages ago (13 yrs)
    I wonder what kind of guitar he should buy in its place?

    but for now, that is a loss
  10. Of course this guitar is memorable. I can't really imagine Edge without it. But it's for a great cause! That's one of the things I do really love U2! They're not only great musicians, but they're trying to make the world a better place!
    And, don't fear, Edge has more Les Pauls I suggest, and the sound wil not change I think
  11. I really can't imagine The Edge wihout the GibsonExplorer which he uses in I Will Follow, that's a mithic guitar!!
