Specialist note

As David Gilmour preferred not to take his cherished 1955 Esquire on the road, he opted instead for 1952 vintage reissue Telecasters on the two latter Pink Floyd tours. This Telecaster was supplied directly from Fender Musical Instruments Corporation for use as a spare on Pink Floyd’s A Momentary Lapse of Reason Tour from September 1987 to July 1989, similarly serving as a spare on the band’s 1994 The Division Bell Tour and Gilmour’s 2006 On An Island Tour. In 2007, the pickups were switched to Seymour Duncan Antiquity pickups.
