Beautiful, powerful, unique, and as idiosyncratic as Gilmour's playing.
The David Gilmour Signature Series Stratocaster Guitar from the Fender Custom Shop has an alder body,
black or black over three-color sunburst finish, a black pickguard, a one-piece straight-grain maple neck, custom pickups,
and Gilmour's now-famous electronics and shortened vintage tremolo arm.
A cornerstone of Pink Floyd's incomparably
revolutionary sound, Gilmour's Black Strat is 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 hand-in-hand with Gilmour
and his longtime guitar technician, Phil Taylor, to create this signature model instrument, a detailed reproduction of the
Black Strat—complete in its unmistakable look, sound, and feel.
The David Gilmour Signature Strat comes with
a custom Fender guitar case, an Evidence high-end guitar cable, Gilmour's three-disc Live in Gdansk CD/DVD set, and
Phil Taylor's 2007 book about the guitar's history, The Black Strat. The first 500 guitars sold in either finish
option will include a limited edition, signed copy of The Black Strat book, autographed by Phil Taylor.
