Fender Custom Shop

Beautiful, powerful, unique, and as idiosyncratic as Gilmour's playing.

The David Gilmour Signature Series Stratocaster Guitar from the Fender Custom Shop has an alder body, black or black over three-color sunburst finish, a black pickguard, a one-piece straight-grain maple neck, custom pickups, and Gilmour's now-famous electronics and shortened vintage tremolo arm.

A cornerstone of Pink Floyd's incomparably revolutionary sound, Gilmour's Black Strat is featured extensively on The Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals, The Wall and his critically acclaimed 2006 solo effort, On An Island. The Fender Custom Shop worked hand-in-hand with Gilmour and his longtime guitar technician, Phil Taylor, to create this signature model instrument, a detailed reproduction of the Black Strat—complete in its unmistakable look, sound, and feel.

The David Gilmour Signature Strat comes with a custom Fender guitar case, an Evidence high-end guitar cable, Gilmour's three-disc Live in Gdansk CD/DVD set, and Phil Taylor's 2007 book about the guitar's history, The Black Strat. The first 500 guitars sold in either finish option will include a limited edition, signed copy of The Black Strat book, autographed by Phil Taylor.

I have a water damage issue, to the case, that is currently working. I can not tell you how pleased that I am with Fender!! These guys are really responsive, and are doing everything that they possibily can. Again, they are VERY responsive, and THAT, means a lot when you are considering an investment like this. Hope that helps if you are still debating.

Gilmour

Overall:
Suffice to say, this guitar rocks. The sound capabilities are incredible. I have used the EMG DG-20 before, this actually will replicate his sound to the tee! I can not praise this thing enough. That being said, unless you desire to actually collect it because it is an exact replica of Gilmour's, buy the NOS version. In hindsight, and if I could do it all over agin, I would have went that route, and I AM someone who thinks David is of devine nature. Whether you are an advid Gilmour, or advid Strat lover, this is your guitar!
