A Standard Fender Stratocaster, \"the Black Strat,\" as it's affectionately known, came from the Fender factory finished in black, but it had been sprayed over sunburst and was fitted with a maple neck.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe played it live at the Bath Festival in June 1970, and it quickly became his main guitar and a cornerstone of Pink Floyd’s ethereal, psychedelic sound, appearing on landmark albums such The Dark Side of the Moon (1973), Wish You Were Here (1975), Animals (1977), The Wall (1979) and future solo albums.  Over time, the guitar went through various iterations and modifications, finally settling into what became it's final version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe Fender Custom Shop version of the Black Strat includes a Fender 1983 ’57 reissue \"C\"-shape neck, a shortened vibrato arm measuring 4.25\", a 5-way pickup selector that replaced the original 3-way in 1985 and the guitar’s original Fender synchronized tremolo bridge, which was re-fitted in 1997. In the electronics department, the guitar boasts custom hand-wound neck and machine-wound middle pickups, both wound to exactly match David’s 1971 originals and only available on the David Gilmour Signature Strat guitars, plus a Seymour Duncan bridge pickup to replicate the custom SSL-1C pickup that was installed in late 1979.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThis is the real deal recreation.  Here are the specs:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSerial # R72971\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish Package: Relic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Nitrocellulose Lacquer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack over 3-Tone Sunburst Finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComfort Contoured Select Alder Body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1-Piece Maple Neck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1983 Thin-Shouldered “C” Neck Shape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaple Fretboard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e25.5\" Scale Length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.675\" Nut Width\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7.25\" Fretboard Radius\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e21 Vintage Style Frets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom Hand-Wound Fat ‘50s Single-Coil Strat® Neck Pickup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom-Wound Single-Coil Strat® Middle Pickup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeymour Duncan SSL-5 Single-Coil Strat® Bridge Pickup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5-Position Blade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMini-Toggle (Adds Neck Pickup in Positions 1, 2 and 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmerican Vintage Synchronized Tremolo with Custom Beveled Tremolo Block and Shortened Tremolo Arm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1-Ply Beveled Black Acrylic Pickguard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFender\/Gotoh Vintage Style Machine Heads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNickel\/Chrome Hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e.830\" Neck Thickness at 1st Fret\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e.900\" Neck Thickness at 12th Fret\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e.","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41157793185973,"sku":"80FCS013","price":9999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2433\/products\/1-DSCF7300.jpg?v=1640199293","url":"https:\/\/www.truetonemusic.mom\/products\/pre-owned-fender-custom-shop-david-gilmour-strat-electric-guitar","provider":"Truetone Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
