Looking for a great relic guitar?  Take a look at the David Gilmour Stratocaster Relic by Fender Custom Shop and David Gilmour.  This guitar recreated one of the most recognized instruments from the musical world.  The guitar is based on David Gilmour’s Black Strat guitar, one of his most famous guitars.  Gilmour played his Black Strat for many of Pink Floyd’s most popular songs, and the instrument became one of the foundations of the group’s revolutionary sound.  To get an idea of what the Black Strat sounds like, all you have to do is listen to one of the many albums that it is featured on, such as Wish You Were Here, Animals, The Dark Side of the Moon, and The Wall.  Gilmour also used the Black Strat extensively on his 2006 solo album, On an Island.

The David Gilmour Stratocaster Relic is an incredible reproduction of the Black Strat.  Fender worked very closely with both David Gilmour and Phil Taylor, Gilmour’s guitar technician, to get every detail correct.  The reproduction does more than just look like Gilmour’s Black Strat, of course—it also reproduces the instruments unique sound.  The guitar features a black lacquer done over a three-color body.  It also features a one-piece maple neck, a black pickguard, custom pickups, and, of course, Gilmour’s shortened vintage tremolo arm and the electronics he is known for.  If you’re looking for a truly awesome looking relic guitar that can also produce a great sound, you’ll be very pleased with the David Gilmour Stratocaster Relic.
