Description

This poster is designed around an original pastel of a vintage Gibson guitar, a 1957 Gibson ES-295. A little bit more information about the subject is required, as this is not just any guitar. Those of you old enough may recall the song Desire by the Irish band U2, dating to 1988. This guitar was played by The Edge during the recording of that song. A few years ago it was sold at an auction to benefit Music Rising, a charity that raises money to replace instruments for musicians, churches and schools in New Orleans that were lost during Hurricane Katrina, a charity in which The Edge is heavily involved. It was won by a friend of a friend. That friend took the reference photo, which I used with her permission.
