Pre-Owned Fender Custom Shop David Gilmour Stratocaster Relic Black over 3-Tone Sunburst

Here's an opportunity to own one of the most popular Fender Custom Shop guitars of all time: the David Gilmour Strat.  While it was a current model, the Custom Shop only made a limited number of them each year.  Discontinued a few years back, these are incredibly hard to find now.  Here's one that's barely been played.  It was built in 2013, and purchased here at Truetone by a collector that didn't really play.  So, the guitar basically went unplayed since then, and is now back here to be sold again.

Heavily modified and experimented on since he first spotted it at Manny's Music in New York City in May 1970, David Gilmour’s black Stratocaster has become the stuff of legend among guitarists and diehard Pink Floyd fans. A Standard Fender Stratocaster, "the Black Strat," as it's affectionately known, came from the Fender factory finished in black, but it had been sprayed over sunburst and was fitted with a maple neck.

He played it live at the Bath Festival in June 1970, and it quickly became his main guitar and a cornerstone of Pink Floyd’s ethereal, psychedelic sound, appearing on landmark albums such The Dark Side of the Moon (1973), Wish You Were Here (1975), Animals (1977), The Wall (1979) and future solo albums.  Over time, the guitar went through various iterations and modifications, finally settling into what became it's final version.
