Specialist note

This guitar was supplied by Takamine via UK distributor Korg UK Ltd on 11th June 2001 for David Gilmour’s upcoming solo show at London’s Royal Festival Hall on 21st June 2001 as part of the South Bank Centre’s annual artist-curated Meltdown Festival. The nylon-string was used by guitarist Neill MacColl to accompany Gilmour on the song High Hopes, the closing track on Pink Floyd’s 1994 album The Division Bell. MacColl reprised this performance on the Takamine when Gilmour returned for three concerts at the same venue on 16th to 18th January 2002, followed by two shows at the Palais de Congres in Paris on 23rd and 24th January 2002. The 2001 and 2002 shows at the Royal Festival Hall were recorded for the live concert DVD David Gilmour in Concert, released in October 2002.
