The Fender David Gilmour Signature Series Stratocaster

David Gilmour and Fender Custom Shop are extremely proud to release one of the most iconic and highly-anticipated musical instruments of the past fifty years, the Fender Custom Shop David Gilmour Signature Series Stratocaster, based on Davids famous "Black Strat" guitar. A cornerstone of Pink Floyd's revolutionary and incomparable sound, Gilmour's Black Strat is featured extensively on The Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, The Wall and his critically-acclaimed 2006 solo effort, On an Island.
The Fender Custom Shop worked hand-in-hand with David and his long-standing 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 over Three-color Sunburst alder body with black pickguard, one-piece straight-grain maple neck, custom pickups, and David's now-famous electronics and shortened vintage tremolo arm, the David Gilmour Signature Series Stratocaster is as beautiful, powerful and idiosyncratic as David's playing. Additionally, David's signature guitar comes with a custom case, Evidence Audio%u2122 high-end guitar cable, David's Live in Gdansk three-disc live CD and DVD package, and a copy of Phil Taylor's The Black Strat® book.

Product Description
The Black Strat book is the first and only accurate and knowledgeable account of David Gilmour's favorite Stratocaster guitar. Written by Phil Taylor - David's personal guitar technician since 1974 - to coincide with the release of the long awaited and much requested Fender 'David Gilmour Signature Strat': an instrument replicating the look, set-up, sound and feel of David's famous black guitar as it is today. The chronological story begins with David Gilmour joining Pink Floyd in early 1968, his guitar at that time, his subsequent instruments leading to the purchase of the Black Strat in 1970, and the other guitars that have come and gone. The book details all of the changes and modifications made to the Black Strat, its use on Pink Floyd tours and iconic albums, David's solo projects, and various guest appearances throughout the years.
