David Gilmour’s main guitar from 1970-1986, this is the sound of the Comfortably Numb solo. Much messed about, the guitar rocked a Kahler trem and a Gibson PAF at various points, but was returned to something like stock form. Gilmour’s shorted tremolo arm allows for more subtle control of vibrato. He overcame the Strat’s sometimes weak bridge pickup with overwound alternatives, trying a DiMarzio FS-1 before settling on a custom Seymour Duncan now sold as the SSL-5. It was sold at auction in 2019 for an astonishing £3,975,000.
