Bono'sZooBaby
The Fly
The Explorer is like the Edge's trademark too me. When I see one I always think of him. I can't help my obessions.

I did like that though, and Bonos one. Was that the same LP he uses on The Fly live/f Boston on the Elevation DVD?
if so, NOOOO!![]()

How wonderful would it be to see someone win one of these guitars, make the donation, then give it back? It really says a lot about the band that they're willing to give away these instruments. It's one thing to just donate some autographs or something, but Edge parting with not one but several of his guitars? That's heart and soul.
I'm very proud but a little sad, too.

Bono's Irish Falcon guitar is by no means a "rare" instrument.
Guitar shops sell that model (for $3-4k).

Yeah, me too. I'm strangely relieved that it's not the Explorer.

Uh oh! Digsy is going to have a fit when she sees this. Either that or she will ask for a HUGE loan to get that guitar.![]()

Giving away one of his most beloved guitars shows how much he is into this cause....
good for you, Edge!
(pity I haven't got enough money...)

This Les Paul has "2" written on the back of it.. I'm sure he still has the "1".
