Fender's most ambitious recreation yet! The Custom Shop has went to great detail to replicate Gilmour's famous black Strat. The results are indeed stunning. Incredible workmanship and attention to detail as well as innovative features. The body is alder for classic tone. The 25.5 inch scale maple neck features a 7.25 inch radius maple fingerboard with 21 vintage frets. The pickups and switching system are innovative. At the bridge, a Seymour Duncan SSL-5 resides while a Custom Wound Strat pickup and a Custom Handwound Fat 50s Strat pickup occupy the middle and neck respectively. Along with a traditional 5 way switch, a mini toggle is installed in order to access other switching options. A vintage style trem with special short arm and vintage style tuners round out the hardware. The black nitrocellulose lacquer finish compliments the single ply black acrylic pickguard. A pile of case candy comes along for the ride as well including an Evidence audio cable and a special book on Gilmour's black Strat. An incredible package that is sure to please players and collectors!
This Strat plays great with incredible tone. It is set up with the usual attention to detail of most Custom Shop instruments. The pickups and electronics deliver a variety of tones. A great guitar. This was recently purchased by one of my collector customers. It has seen very little playtime. He saw something in my inventory that he wanted more so he took advantage of my groovy trade in policy. Very little playtime. Super clean NOS finish showing almost no signs of use. As nice or nicer than many hanging as new in stores. Comes in original commemorative case with crushed velvet, embroidered interior.
This is an incredible opportunity for Pink Floyd fans to grab a piece of history. A recreation of the guitar that's featured prominently on Pink Floyd's biggest albums. Incredible quality and attention to detail. Here's a great opportunity to get this guitar at a huge savings. A new NOS David Gilmour will cost you $3999 in the superstores. I can save you tons of cash on this previously owned one.
