GILMOUR STRATOCASTER

[probot]

This has been my main guitar for the last month since building it. It's all Warmoth hardware except for the pickups which are Kinman Woodstock Plus's with the K9 harness (Tone #2 acts as volume for the neck pickup so it can be brought in irrespective of the selectors position)
Body is alder and the neck is a PRO in standard thin with compound radius and sweet flame. Can't say any more except this is a seriously good guitar - the neck is amazing in feel, wouldn't ever buy another stock Fender again.

Welcome to the forum! Nice flame on the neck! Get more pics of it!
cheers

Classy look but what's "David Gilmour" about it?

For crying out loud! Not another Jaco Inspiredesque thread! :icon_biggrin:

I think the Gilmour influence is clear. Early Floyd pics often featured the great man with a black strat with white pickups/controls.

Wonderful looking guitar,

Nice man, that's definitely something I'd want to build!

Beautiful

You should saw off the trem arm though  :laughing7:

I love it. I want it.  :laughing7: :icon_thumright:

Blasted off a few more pictures - glad it gets a thumbs up!

This neck was a custom order or showcase pieces? How many A's they wrote on the bill? Love it!
I just got the Live at Royal Albert Hall dvd, so I pretty much like this guitar!

That's a mighty nice guitar!  BTW, I hear that Gilmour is back using the old black strat...

lol.  No, no this isn't another one of those.  That's a beautiful piece, but just the addition of the black pickguard makes it Gilmour-ish?

And the black body+white plastic+maple neck/fretboard.

? Are you serious? He has a strat exactly like that...

Can't really count the white plastic for the controls and pickup covers, 99.99% of Strats have that as the default color.  And a maple fretboard on a Stratocaster, what are the odds?  David Gilmour put a black pickguard on a factory colored Strat.

 

[Soloshchenko]

Probot you should maybe write "Dave Gilmour rules" with a white marker pen on the guitar's body?

 

[callaway]

I second cutting the trem arm. (Or otherwise getting a short one.)

 

[Superlizard]

Callaham sells a shortie Gilmour arm (the really short one), but don't know if it'll fit or not.  If you get the trem block as well, it certainly will fit.

In case this is too complicated for you... the guitar of this thread is inspired by Gilmour's strat and is similar in appearance with Gilmour's strat. Your comments have no meaning especially for the person who turned these parts into a guitar he likes.
