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.
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.
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?
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
