Bono designs guitar for children's charity
And you could snap it up if you're rich enough
NME, January 05, 2007
A guitar designed by Bono is to be auctioned off in aid of a children's charity.
The U2 singer provides a centrepiece for the new Born to Rock exhibition at Harrods in London, which celebrates the history and influence of the electric guitar.
A host of big names have customised guitars for the project, and Bono's features images from his children's book Peter and the Wolf, published in aid of the Irish Children's Hospice.
The guitar will be auctioned in aid of the charity.
The centrepiece of a season called Harrods Rocks, the Born to Rock Exhibition features rare models including the first known electric guitar known as the "Frying Pan," as well as models plated by legends like Jimi Hendrix and Muddy Waters, and newer bands like Oasis and Kasabian.
Other names customising guitars include Graham Coxon and Bryan Adams.
