Note du spécialiste

Ovation’s solid-body electric guitar the Preacher employed a dual output jack that allowed the performer to plug into two separate amplifiers (stereo) or into both channels of a single amp.
David Gilmour purchased this guitar directly from Ovation Instruments Inc., New Hartford, Connecticut, in September 1978, after a previous order placed in April 1978 had been stolen in transit. Gilmour has kept the guitar for studio use.
