When Hurricane Katrina hit, U2’s The Edge founded a non-profit called MusicRising (www.musicrising.org) to help replace the musical instruments lost in the natural disaster. And now he’s giving something he’ll definitely miss, his 1975 Gibson Les Paul. This guitar has seen it all as The Edge has used it pretty much his entire career.
You can find this piece of musical history in the Icons of Music auction which features about 196 rock-related items like one of Elvis’s first recording contracts, Jimi Hendrix’s guitar and a saxophone played and autographed by former President Clinton (I said rock-related, remember). The items will go on tour, from Los Angeles to Dublin to London with a final stop in NYC at the Hard Rock Cafe on April 21st.
To bid on The Edge’s guitar or other U2 donated items, like Adam Clayton’s bass guitar, Larry Mullen’s tom-tom drums and a pair of Bono’s Armani sunglasses, visit www.juliensauctions.com for the full tour schedule to bid in person or online.
