Specialist note

Pink Floyd bassist Guy Pratt arranged the purchase of this guitar on behalf of David Gilmour. A replacement neck was supplied by Nash Guitars and fitted to the guitar after it was decided that the original neck was too large for Gilmour’s taste. The guitar was carried as a dressing room guitar on the North American and European legs of Gilmour’s Rattle That Lock Tour from March to July 2016, in support of his fourth solo album Rattle That Lock.
