Live David Gilmour Auction

Rabs

I wonder if the person who bought the Black Strat is going to get that feeling we all get when we get the guitar of our dreams..

They get it home, open it up, plug it in and still sound nothing like David Gilmour    Four million dollars of disappointment hahaha

ClientEarth, the charity that David Gilmour gave his incredibly generous donation to, are a group of environmental lawyers.
Have we just seen the start of the biggest boost to PRS sales in years?

Having played it, I can confirm the David Gilmour effect is not communicable via physical contact with his guitar.

Out of interest is the Black Strat also the one used in that Pompeii show in the early 70s?

I've been playing our Gilmour inspired Pulse strat type guitar today - forgot how fun the EMG circuit can be to dial in sounds
