p90jr Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 "The Black Strat," which is a '69 body with an '83 neck (I think) and swapped out pickups... so, a partscaster, basically, went for over 3.9 Million dollars.

Scott Fraser Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 For that price I hope they included a new set of strings. Quote Scott Fraser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertbluesman Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Good for David Gilmour, I hope he gets some of that money. Or did he give the money to charity? In both instances I applaud his decision. As for me, I'd rather have a new Strat (for a discounted price of course).

surfergirl Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 According to Gilmour every penny, 21 million dollars, will be donated to ClientEarth. I'm on team Gilmour. Quote Jenny S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The global climate crisis is the greatest challenge that humanity will ever face." - David Gilmour Also, he doesn't need another $21,000,000... he's loaded, lives like royalty and seems to be one who's being philosophical about the clock winding down on his days on the planet.

p90jr Posted June 21, 2019 Author Share Posted June 21, 2019 I watched a Gilmour concert a few years ago and he actually played Gretsch Duo Jets the entire time, which I'd never seen him with... but guess what, he sounded like his records... he sounded exactly like the parts he'd recorded with the Strats and Les Paul and Esquires and Teles... goes to show it's in the hands.

Winston Psmith Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 I give all respect to Dave Gilmour, for knowing that he can't take it with him, and realizing that it all may as well do some good, here and now.

Egyptian pharaohs might disagree. I know IM being buried in a pyramid of all my stuff! Mainly because nobody I know will want it, and theyll just pile it up on my grave. In all seriousness, I am trying to figure out what of all my my stuff has any kind of value, and how best to devise it. Because Im one of the only musicians in the family- and the youngest by a decade +, my guitars & associated gear will probably wind up being used to benefit some charity like Guitars for Vets, local school music programs, or maybe even individual underprivileged music students. The main question will be whether it will be outright gifts or in some kind of trust. Quote Sturgeon's 2nd Law, a.k.a.

d halfnote Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Seems like at least as good a thang as EC's charitable efforts in his chosen area. As for the "the value" of any object....that's always the use to which it's put [dig that Fred ! ] which, need it be said, includes the joy it brought to others. TBTold, I kinda hate folks that buy stuff to put on a shelf. Quote d=halfnote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
