wow is this the actuall Mr. Gilmour youtube page. As in are you the one replying back!? My question is how come you are not playing you Fender on this song?

[GilmourTrueHD]

@Ibik Strictly a fan site.

[mattguitar10]

Amazing! What kind of Grestch is that?

[GilmourTrueHD]

@mattguitar10 I believe it is a Duo Jet. Not sure of the year, think it's a 57-58.

@GilmourTrueHD I picked up on this thread I assume you are talking about the black guitar David is playing its a Lewis and was custom built for him It was used on some of DSOTM.

[GilmourTrueHD]

@davesweet63 Nope its a Grestch Duo Jet. The Lewis is a 24 fret with no pick guard. David got the Lewis in 1970.

@ale9164 you gotta remember he didnt play that guitar for years dude. In fact it was left in the Hard Rock Cafe and came back to Phil Taylor in a rough enough state with knobs missing and parts taken off. He played most of the 80's with a red strat loaded with EMG pickups and only really re-started playing the black one just before the Live 8 show.

Love the Gretsch.

@chichipotle ...hey, i been playing 44 years now....the beatles kinda worked some stuff out with a gretch that was "catchy"......now to my 2nd favorite band....floyd,,,,,for me, he needs his strat back

[crazydiamondjr]

this is a beautiful more relaxed...what i would call the sat on your sofa version.....love it of course......

[shefow]

must be good to play like him... love u my guitar master

[eggobass]

this guitar fucking sucks in comparison to his strat solos....terrible.

[Amberscion]

I love Gilmore and Pink Floyd in general. But in this video I like the cellist at 0:51 through 1:06. First off, super cute. Second off, to my layman eyes looks like skillful playing. Third off, just look at her having a good time and enjoying the hell out of the concert.

[ozzthorn258]

this is true, the strat is gilmour's most harmonic , but something about that grestch just grabs you, gives the solo a sharper edge, as apposed to the softness of the strat

[corporacionmonstruo]

00:56 why there´s no sound from that girl?

[chichipotle]

i like the fender sound much better. But David is fantastic with any guitar.
