Note du spécialiste

David Gilmour acquired this guitar as an early demonstration model directly from Bond Guitars, Dorset, England, in February 1982 and kept it for studio use. The all carbon fiber resin Bond Electraglide was thereafter manufactured from 1984 to 1985. The unique resin fingerboard was designed with a stepped fingering surface, dispensing with the need for inlaid fret wire as used on traditional guitar fingerboards.
