Main musical equipment

Segue una lista dei componenti dell'equipaggiamento che Gilmour ha usato sia nei lavori con i Pink Floyd che da solista, tour compresi.

Chitarre

  • Fender
    • Stratocaster
      • La Stratocaster è lo strumento principalmente usato da Gilmour, molto modificato durante gli anni: nel 1970 usa una Stratocaster bianca con battipenna nero e pickup di diversi colori, generalmente affiancati da un manico in acero del 1957. Vi è anche uno switch che permette di combinare i pickup al ponte e al manico. La chitarra è dotata di un ponte mobile Seymour Duncan con leva che appartenne a Jimi Hendrix.[1] Nel periodo seguente l'abbandono di Waters, durante i tour di A Momentary Lapse of Reason e The Division Bell la Strato usata è una replica del 1984 della Candy Apple Red '57 completata da un set di EMG SA pickup con i controlli dei toni rimpiazzati da un mini boost EMG SPC e un filtro passabanda EXG. Tale effetto fu usato in ogni tappa del "On An Island" tour nell'esecuzione di Shine On You Crazy Diamond.
      • Gilmour possiede anche una stratocaster #0001, che non è però la prima stratocaster mai costruita, ma la prima ad avere il numero seriale. E' stata usata per l'ultima volta allo Strat Pack Concert nell'arena di Wembley nel 2004.
      • Una replica color crema del '57, usata solamente nel tour dell'84, nella prima parte del tour che lo ha coinvolto tra il 1987 ed il 1990 e nel Live 8, in cui è stata usata anche da Tim Renwick. Dotata con gli stessi pickup EMG e circuiti dei toni della Candy Apple Red '57, dopo il concerto al live 8 il manico fu messo sulla chitarra principale nera.
      • '57 Lake Placid Blue. (numero di serie #0040). Usara nelle sessioni di The Wall
      • Double-neck Stratocaster. Usata nei concerti tra il 1970 e 1972.


      • Sunburst Stratocaster. '63 rosewood neck with '59 body. This guitar was given to David by Steve Marriott of Humble Pie and the Small Faces, and though David didn't like the guitar enough to use it very long, he preferred the neck to the original one on his black Strat and switched the two. The sunburst Strat was used as his spare and slide guitar in subsequent years (sporting the maple cap neck with a large heastock from the black Strat), and the rosewood neck remained on the black Strat until 1978.
      • White with white pickguard. Used in the late 1960s. Received as a gift from the rest of the band.[2] Stolen in equipment heist in 1970.
    • Telecaster
      • Blonde body with white pickguard. Used on the On an Island tour.
      • '52 Butterscotch Reissues with black pickguard. Used between 1987 and 1995. The first guitar was tuned in Drop D than a standard tuning and used for Run Like Hell. The second served as a backup instrument and had a regular guitar tuning. Gilmour used this guitar for Astronomy Domine.
      • '59 Sunburst body with sunburst ash body and white pickguard. Used on Animals' recording sessions. Last seen on rehearsals during the On an Island tour.
      • '61 Telecaster used during The Wall recording sessions. Also used live in post-Waters era for "Run Like Hell". Last seen on the Syd Barrett memory concert in 2007.
