Fender Stratocaster David Gilmour NOS (2019)

After the last Gilmour Strat in the NOS version was only available on our website for a very short time we went looking for another one again. And so we are extremely pleased to be able to offer you another replica of probably the most legendary Strat today, which comes to you with all the case candies. David Gilmour's '69 Stratocaster achieved an auction value of almost $4,000,000 in 2019, the highest price ever achieved for a guitar. This instrument accompanied Gilmour for more than 45 years and was used by him on seminal albums such as “Atom Heart Mother”, “Meddle”, “Obscured by Clouds”, “Dark Side of the Moon”, “Wish You Were Here”, “Animals” and “The Wall”. It was 1970 when David Gilmour bought the black Strat from Manny's in New York, a standard model with a characteristic maple neck and a large headstock. Over the years David made numerous modifications. For example, he switched to the legendary black pickguard and installed a mini toggle switch so that he could switch on the neck pickup at any time, which gave him a certain Jazzmaster sound according to his long-time guitar technician Phil Taylor. He also used a '57 maple neck and a Seymour Duncan SSL-5 specially wound for him on the bridge. Modeled on the original this NOS replica from 2019 plays super slinky with the characteristic, slightly thinner Gilmour neck profile (1983 Thin-Shouldered C), 7.25'' fingerboard radius and Vintage-Style frets, making it effortless to whizz across the elegant maple fingerboard. Of course typical Gilmour sound! The “Fat 50s” on the neck and the custom-wound 69 singlecoil in the middle have a wonderfully bell-like, pearly sound and the fantastic SSL-5 will not only enchant fans of Pink Floyd. “Comfortably Numb”, ‘Shine On You Crazy Diamond’ or ‘Atom Heart Mother’ just flow out of your fingers. So it is with great enthusiasm that we can offer you this iconic guitar with its unmistakable look in top condition with only minimal traces of use and with all case candies such as cables, strings, DVD and above all Phil Taylor's “The Black Strat” book.
