Bono and Gretsch recently collaborated to create this updated version of the iconic green Gretsch known as the Irish Falcon. Gracing the stages of the current U2 "Vertigo 2005/06" tour, the new G6136I incorporates classic Gretsch Falcon specs with an all-new lustrous “Everygreen” finish. A portion of the proceeds is donated to "DATA" (Debt-AIDS-Trade-Africa) of which Bono supports and gives his global efforts toward the reduction of extreme poverty in the developing world.
