During the interview Edge held up a vintage photograph of McCartney playing the donated guitar in a studio while Stevie Wonder played the drums.
Others donating guitars include Slash, Lou Reed, Steve Miller, and a bass from Paul McCartney. “They are real serious guitars that I’ve spent a lot of time playing and they’ll - they’ll be missed.” The other is a custom designed Fender Stratocaster used while on tour to perform “Bad” and “Still Haven’t Found I’m Looking For.” “It’s a beautiful Les Paul and it’s actually a music rising Les Paul, part of. Two of Edge’s guitars that he’s played extensively on tour with U2 will be among those sold, including the instrument he calls the “One.” We’re actually willing to just fund people’s livelihoods,” Edge said. So back in post-Katrina, we were replacing instruments.
“We want to try and reestablish the live music scene where it’s suffered a kind of major setback. Once the pandemic set it, it found a new mission.
Founded by Edge and producer Bob Ezrin, the charity was started in 2005 after Hurricane Katrina as a means of replacing instruments lost in the flood.
