"Black Strat" played by legendary Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour heads to auction
Рет қаралды 166,648
5 жыл бұрын"CBS This Morning" got a first look at the most essential guitar from Pink Floyd's David Gilmour, who Rolling Stone calls one of the greatest guitarists of all time. Gilmour is selling more than 120 of his personal guitars through Christie's auction house. They include the iconic Fender Stratocaster known as the "Black Strat." Gilmour bought it in 1970 and played it on Pink Floyd's best-known albums of the '70s and '80s, from "Dark Side of the Moon" to "The Wall."

@frankiephenom5781 5 жыл бұрын
Yea, your correct. At the time they only offered 3 way switching. The 5 way mod became popular among Strat players. In fact it didnt even require a mod per se... you could just wedge the switch in the "in between positon" to get both pickups on. It also gave a different sound than the current 5 way switch, as the middle pick ups were not "reverse wound" as they are today. This gave an "out of phase" sound unique to the 3 way switch guitars not achieved by the modern reverse wound configuration (that's why position 2 and 4 are now humbucking), so fender added 5 way later due to the popular mod (tho with the added reverse wound middle pickup)!

That guitar is a mere shadow of it's former self. 'Floyd at Pompeii' shows what it looked like brand-new. The only original parts on that guitar are (probably) the trem system....input jack....and the body. The body was routed for a locking trem, and years later Dave had a tech remove it and fill-in the cavity. Rather than butcher that axe, he could have had an entirely different body routed and mangled. God-knows where the original neck is.

It set a record. 3,975,000. The best is always valued. You wont find anything like this ever again. Nope. Today would be Mic and a damn PC. Hahahaha

It should have went for far more given its legacy and historical value. 3.9-million isn't even a fraction of the money that guitar generated from 1970 up until 2018.

The defining characteristic of Pink Floyd is that there is no band on Earth that can project sound to and visually captivate through lighting and theatrics to an audience of unlimited size. I see that guitar selling for over a million dollars.

Broker isn't honest. All strats can use neck and middle pick up if you place the switch in between the 2 positions. All modern strats have this and Hendrix was doing that in 1966

Quick internet search says 5 way switch was introduced in 1977 by fender.
@joshcarr7820 5 жыл бұрын
Before the 5 way switch guitarists (like Hendrix) would balance the switch between positions for pickup combinations, but what Gilmour did was add a toggle that would activate the neck pickup no matter what position he was on, which unlocked neck/bridge, and all three at once.

there are two of those strats. one with rosewood and one with maple fingerboard.
@samuelluria4744 5 жыл бұрын
Niknarg - Then they aren't two of "those" guitars. In any case, David has 6 or 8 of these, representative of a few different versions of signature series guitars. Those would be the ones reasonable to consider "like" the original...but he has a few OTHER black strats, aside from that group. He's said that he's keeping at least one of the "replicas".
