What you said!!! The impression you got about Bill Evans is most perceptive. As for Dave Gilmour and P90 goldtops I've only recently been aware of his use of such an instrument, and I'm all ga-ga over them mostly due to Freddy King! Couldn't help but notice that's an honest-to-goodness 54 or 55 example, evidently the headstock shape gives that away. Touch, taste and tone, It's all here all right!
