subscribeThe Fender Custom Shop has announced plans to release a David Gilmour Strat. For those who might be under a rock ( 
) David Gilmour is a Guitarist for Pink Floyd. I love listening to Pink Floyd play and furthermore, I love the guitar in their songs…
Shine On You Crazy Diamond is the song that is coming to mind right now; wonderful guitar licks in that song. Wonderful song overall, also.
As a quick summary, it appears there will be two editions of the Fender Custom Shop Guitar. One will be priced at $3999.99 and the other “relic” one priced at $4799.99 (MSRPs, I assume).
As much as I’d like to have one, I won’t be buying one of these due to price (and how clumbsy I am). I chipped my electric guitar the first day I had it.
Here is a video of the song “Shine on You Crazy Diamond”. The video, as well as the original song, was written for / dedicated to Syd Barrett [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syd_Barrett]
