Main musical equipment
The following is a list of equipment Gilmour either has used on his solo or Pink Floyd recordings, as well as on current or previous tours.
Guitars
- Fender
- Stratocaster
- His main guitar, much modified over the years, is a (1970) black Stratocaster with black pickguard and cream-coloured pickup covers and knobs, currently with a 1957 vintage re-issue " soft V shape" maple neck. It also includes a small toggle switch that combines the neck and bridge pickups (Note this guitar was for brief time fitted with a Kahler locking tremolo system, the system was subsequently un-installed and the removed wood filled with a replacement piece of timber and repainted to match as can be noted by close examination of the guitar behind its reinstalled Fender tremolo). This guitar has a Seymour Duncan bridge pickup and currently has a strap which once belonged to Jimi Hendrix.[1]
- His main guitar for the post-Roger Waters era Pink Floyd tours in support of A Momentary Lapse of Reason, Delicate Sound of Thunder (dubbed "Another Lapse") and The Division Bell was a Candy Apple Red '57 reissue (made in 1984) fitted with a set of EMG SA active pickups with the two standard tone controls replaced with an EMG SPC mid boost control, and an EXG treble/bass expander (which cuts the mids while boosting bass and treble). On the "On An Island" tour it was used every night of the tour on "Shine On You Crazy Diamond".
- Gilmour is the owner of Strat #0001. However, this is not the first Stratocaster ever made, but the first to be given a serial number. It was last seen at the Strat Pack Concert in Wembley Arena in 2004.
- Cream coloured '57 reissue. Used at 1984 solo tour and at the early parts of the 1987-1990 tour. In the 1994 tour it was used as spare guitar. Tim Renwick played it with David and the rest of Pink Floyd at their Live 8 set. This Strat was fitted with the same EMG set of pickups and tone circuits as the aforementioned Candy Apple Red '57 reissue and after it's use at Live 8, the cream finished guitar's neck was transferred to David's main Black Strat.
- '57 Lake Placid Blue. (Serial number #0040). Used at The Wall sessions.
- Double-neck Stratocaster. Used live (1970-72).
- 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.
- 1960s brown-faded body. Used in the late 1960s.
- 1960s blonde ash body with white pickguard. His main guitar during his first year with Pink Floyd, which was lost by an airline company in 1968, and prompted Gilmour to buy the brown-faded Telecaster.[3]
