Note du spécialiste

David Gilmour purchased this left-handed guitar from Andy’s Guitar Centre on Denmark Street, London’s ‘Tin Pan Alley,’ in February 1994 and kept it at his London home for the private use of friend and frequent visitor Douglas Adams. The celebrated author of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Adams had suggested the name for Pink Floyd’s 1994 album The Division Bell after spotting the phrase in Polly Samson's lyrics to the song High Hopes. In celebration of his 42nd birthday, Adams was invited to join the band on stage to play the songs Brain Damage and Eclipse during their show at London’s Earls Court on 28th October 1994.
