U2 – One (Songs Of Surrender)

In this image, The Edge can be seen playing a Gibson Music Rising Les Paul limited edition electric guitar. According to an article on Gibson's website, Edge collaborated with Gibson and Guitar Center Music Foundation on this Les Paul in 2005. The guitar features a hand-painted finish "using the colors of Mardi Gras." Less than 300 of these were made, with the proceeds going to the Music Rising charity. The original article can be found here on gibson.com.

In 2021, The Edge decided to sell one of Music Rising Les Pauls. The auction catalogue describes the guitar as follows:

The Edge's concert-played "One" Music Rising hand-painted and customized Gibson Les Paul. Numbered 96 on the back of the headstock, this was part of a series of 300 Gibson Les Paul guitars designed and customized to raise money for the charity when it was first launched. /.../ As a tribute to the local culture, each guitar is handmade and hand-painted in a Mardi Gras themed color palette. No two are alike. most of the plastic components standard on a Les Paul have been replaced with wood sourced from the States that were affected by Hurricane Katrina. This particular guitar was retained by The Edge and played in 2010 during U2's famous 360 tour, as well as during The Joshua Tree tours of 2017 and 2019 during performances of the indelible hit song "One". /.../ The Edge also played this guitar on "One" and "American Soul" during U2's 2018 Songs of Experience shows. /.../ Manufactured in 2006, the serial number 0318503126 is etched into the reverse of the headstock. The guitar retains an adjustable Pete Schmidt-brand black leather strap with diamond shaped cutouts marked in black felt pen on the underside "CR#1 Les Paul".
