Hi, I was just wondering what kind of pedal/amp are you using on that one? I'm trying to get a Pink Floyd sound and was just considering buying a Standard Strat, but I also wanted a good pedal. Would it be better to start with delay or reverb pedal? Thanks!
for all of you that want one. you better have one hell of an amp to go with this guitar. i have one and it doesnt sound too good on a shit amp. so invest in an amp and some effects before buying this.
A guitar is much Like a woman. You have to hold her in your arms. You have to love her. If she feels right, then she's the one for you. You have to show her lots if attention and take great care of her.. If she becomes warped or twisted, you can remove her neck...
@sp1naway Why do you care if somebody doesn't like line 6 amps? FYI, the term 'solid state' does not really correctly refer to the amps that Line 6 makes. You would be closer to the mark if you said 'digital'.
@Soroki121 the line 6 spider can sound nice once you spend about 45 fucking hours straight trying to coax the sound you want out of it. or more like 65 in my case. not really worth it but after enough tinkering (likeall modeling amps) you can find the right sound
Can't see the money in Strats...don't get me wrong i still own the new one i bought right back in 1981 but they were never a handcrafted musical instrument.They came apart and bolted back together like meccano parts for ease of use and repair.I love 'em but they were always just a tool...David Gilmour himself says as much at the end of the "black strat" book.$3000 up for a Strat is a piss take.
@portlandmusic, If you buy a regular standard black and white strat, but you change the pickguard to black, you can make it look just like this one? or is there more to it?
NOS stands for: "New Old Stock". These guitars came in during 1998 when Fender expanded their line and they were part of what they called their "Time Machine" line. They were, essentially, guitars that were made to look older than they were. The NOS models were one of three brought out at that time: the other two were the "Relic" style, artificially aged, and the "Closet Classic", made to look as though it was bought way back when and then put in the closet for a few years!!
NOS - New Old Stock. It's usually reference to older instruments or equipment that was on the shelves forever but never sold, thus NOS. This guitar is not really NOS, but a recreation of his guitar as if it sat in the closet, store, forever unsold. The tone actually is good considering that the guy is using a POS Line 6 solid state modeling turd amp. I don't know if I could part with my entire penis for this guitar...but perhaps one nut?
mmm, i like the gilmour tone, but this tone is SHITTY, serious, it's sounding empty, too much drive, or too high output, dunno, but i've one myself, and the guitar is killing!
really really fucking excellent sound. screw those people who just think that there overpriced instruments and your only paying for a name this guitar says diffrent
I mean...Id' get the 50's classic issue strat in black..change the pickguard and the pickups...then you practically have the same thing for about £450
I think NOS stands for New Old Stock. It's a marketing buzz word. This guitar is not NOS. It is plain old new. It's worth no more than the other strats you see on the wall.
actually it means that it's a brand new version of an old guitar, gilmour's strat is a late 60s stratocaster, and if you see there's also a relic version, but this one is supposed to show the guitar as brand new, and it's worth a lot more than the plain strats hanging on the wall, as it's made in the Fender Custom Shop.
That's fine, but your $400 stratocaster is going to be worth nothing except as a parts guitar. Genuine strats in 40/50 years will be worth an absolute fortune. For most people, that's not an issue, but there are many guitar collectors out there who would rather have the real deal for the sake of resale value
music store matt plays pretty good....the custom shop gilmour is nice, but you can build one for about a 1/4 of the price, just finished mine and its incredible, a lot more appreciative that i built it myself, and i saved 3 grand! nice playing though and nice guitar!
If it included David gilmours REAL signature and not the guy who made the book (who wants his?) I would think about it. Other wise his hiwatt amp, Daivd gilmour pick ups and will get you just as good. Whos signatur guitar did david use? haha
Thanks for a great first look at the new gilmour strat. Its obvious that the guitar is a very special creation. The tone, character and looks really stand out.
I played the DG Relic the other day, it sounded good, but a little difficult to play. But, I want one. I don't understand Y the NOS is so expensive. A EJ strat is $1700
The Eric Johnson strat is built in the usual factory, but the David Gilmour is built in the CUSTOM SHOP by the best guys in the business. Craftsmanship costs. ;)
to be honest with u guys line six spyder amps are actually really good... if you have lik a 75 watt one but the distortion is nice, and its clean isnt all that bad...

SAVE MONEY AND BUILD YOUR OWN BLACK STRAT...I DID!
Brand new American Fender Strat: $1,050.00;
Replacement pups: SSL-5, Custom '69, Fat '50 altogether were $155.00 (new & used on Ebay);
The thick black pickguard with "magic switch" was $60 brand new on Ebay;
The shortened tremolo bar was $23 brand new on Ebay.
Labor to install everything: $120.00
TOTAL: $1,408.00 ... Talk about a huge savings! Prices include shipping fees and taxes.
It looks like the real thing and sounds like it too!
