World’s Most Expensive Guitar: David Gilmour’s Black Strat in Christie’s

“David Gilmour purchased the guitar new in May 1970 from Manny’s, the iconic guitar store on West 48th Street in New York. It was bought to replace a black Stratocaster with a rosewood neck that he had purchased just six weeks earlier but which had been stolen in New Orleans, along with the rest of the band’s equipment, following the second show of Pink Floyd’s third US tour. That first black Stratocaster was never seen again.
With the band forced to end the tour early, Gilmour flew home to London via New York, making an emergency visit to Manhattan’s ‘Music Row’ to purchase another black Stratocaster, this one with a maple neck.
