'Force One'

39
Ahead of the show in Paris last September, the brilliant French artist Fabien Verschaere met up with Edge... and totally transformed the look of his Fender Telecaster.

Maybe you were in the audience that night wondering about that new guitar Edge was playing? Don't lose any more sleep over it. Here's your answer - in the fantastical imagination of a singular artist.

I was at the gig in Paris and thinking back I remember that there was something new to the guitar that night. Nice work!

So cool
So cool, I've got a bar of soap and some water to wash it off so we can get back to making music. Yeah.

mistake?
i think he drew it upside down. when edge looks down, it will be the right view, but to the audience, the artwork is upside down. noticed that immediately when he started drawing with the knobs on top........ if jimi came back, it would work for him.

That is so cool!
What a great way to personalize The Edge's guitar. I love his profile on the back with the beanie. He looks even cooler playing it :)

That is a one of a kind guitar for a one one kind guitar player. Very cool. Those are two gifted artists.

I was in the front and never noticed. I had been enjoying myself with a lot of alcohol though.

Fine arts on the guitar
Wow, what a great artist! It is so exciting to see how Fabien Verschaere creates his amazing art on all sides of Edge;s guitar. His work is truly extraordinary and particularly the drawing of The Edge looks very funny. Now the Fender Telecaster is a unique piece of art. It is great that The Edge played on it live in concert.

WAS STANDING IN THE FIRST LINE JUST IN F
but didn t fell the difference
tan_lejos_tan_cerca - 17 March, 2011
Wow!! It's really good!!
Thaks for this video of drawing live!! It's very nice to see him spreading his drawings. Surrealist-pop-grafittis all over Edge's guitar. Mindblowing! "Edge force one" Haha!
U2tellabob - 17 March, 2011
Anyone know the name of the song?
What song is playing here?

Envy
I don't know whose talent I envy more. Beautiful music. Beautiful guitar.
jbolster - 17 March, 2011
superb
That is a beautiful guitar. I remember when I first saw the Gibson that Edge played at the Obama inauguration for City of Blinding lights - then when I saw it first hand in Sydney Dec 13 last year it was absolutely stunning. Sooo much better than any 'standard' block colour or sunburst colour on your 'normal' guitars.. This is the Edge! These things have to achieve lift-off!

as an artist
Wow !! He can kick my ass. I'm way to nervous to free hand it.
thetak1 - 17 March, 2011
WOW
I WANT THAT!!!! My guitar's black so I'm gonna try and get someone to do that in white on mine
