Player's Perspective

Music Store Live is proud to present this Fender Custom Shop David Gilmour Signature Stratocaster! If you're checking out this guitar, you're probably already well familiar with the incendiary sound of David Gilmour's infamous black Stratocaster. As we here at Music Store Live are all huge Gilmour and fans, we hold a guitar with his name to the highest possible scrutiny. We are very happy to say that this guitar does an exceptional job of capturing the tone and vibe of David Gilmour's most outstanding guitar work.

We couldn't have been happier with the tone that came out of this machine. The set up was perfect right out of the box and then, once we plugged it in, it was love at first listen. It's dark where it needs to be and bright in the right spots, both warm and stinging at the same time. This guitar is exceptionally resonant and it has an excellent vocal-like quality. It plays wonderfully in every position, so you can expect easy, accurate bending all over the neck. The special electronics make this guitar a dream come true for live use, recording and the type of sonic exploration we've come to appreciate from David Gilmour. One of the nicest Strats around.

Item Details

David Gilmour and the Fender Custom Shop are extremely proud to release one of the most highly anticipated guitars ever - the David Gilmour Signature Series Stratocaster®. Gilmour’s famous “Black Strat®” guitar was a cornerstone of the Pink Floyd sound; featured extensively on The Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals, The Wall and his critically acclaimed 2006 solo effort, On an Island. The Fender Custom Shop worked closely with Gilmour and his longtime guitar technician, Phil Taylor, to create his signature model, a reproduction of the Black Strat complete with its unmistakable look, sound and feel. Featuring a black nitrocellulose lacquer finish, alder body with black pickguard, one-piece maple neck, custom pickups, and Gilmour’s own distinctive electronics and shortened vintage tremolo arm, the David Gilmour Signature Series Stratocaster is as beautiful, powerful and individual as Gilmour’s playing. Additionally, the guitar comes with a custom case, Evidence Audio™ high-end guitar cable, and David Gilmour’s “Live at Pompeii” Blu-ray.
