Product Information
You can recreate the unique sound of Pink Floyd with the Fender Artist David Gilmour Signature Electric Stratocaster Guitar. This black and yellow instrument is a recreation of the same guitar that helped launch "The Dark Side of the Moon" and "Animals" into music history. Made of alder, maple, and synthetic bone, this six string electric guitar comes in a solid black finish with an unbelievable glass-like gloss. Vintage style frets and tuning machines can lend an air of history to the piece, and the thin shouldered C-neck shape is an exact duplicate of Gilmour's 1983 vintage '57 Strat. The instrument can speak to guitar players of all styles.In addition to his time spent as the guitarist for Pink Floyd, David Gilmour is renowned as a talented songwriter and composer. Throughout his career, he has played many Stratocaster guitars to write some of the band’s most famous songs, including “Wish You Were Here.” This is why he and Fender came together to create a special edition guitar based on his specifications and preferences. A great feature of this beautiful instrument is its lightness, which occurs as a result of the alder used to create the body. The balance between the neck and base of the guitar allows for a steady position. Because of this, the guitar won’t tilt in either direction as you play. Easy access strap pins are located at the base and the arm of the body to attach your favorite strap. This stylish instrument can fit into a classic flat hardcover. It can also be light enough to carry on your back wherever you go to play.The Strat guitar's pickguard blends into the black body. White knobs and pickups create a stunning contrast to its black background. Each pickup is positioned strategically by the Fender Custom Shop. These particular pickup sets were created by Seymour Duncan especially for this custom Stratocaster. Their position can help create just the right vibrations for jazz or rock styles. The Gilmour Strat guitar can produce a strong, tight tone that is beautifully rich and warm.The neck of this black Strat has the comfortable “C” shape that can make it easy to play. The tremolo arm is attached just below the bridge. This puts it in easy reach for a controlled tension that can create that signature vibrato that David Gilmour is known for. The tone of the tremolo can be instantly recognizable from such songs as “On an Island.”The white Fender pickups' style may feel vintage, but they were chosen for their dynamics. As a professional musician would say, “they breathe.” That means that they have warm, familiar tones that are reminiscent of classic psychedelic and blues songs from the ‘60s and ‘70s. Everything about this signature David Gilmour Strat, from the bridge, pickups, and pickguard to the head and tuners, can scream professional guitarist. You can feel it when you play, and your listeners will feel it in the tone and quality they hear. You can be amazed at how great it sounds, even when it isn’t plugged in, which is one of the hallmarks of a well made Fender custom shop pickup guitar.
