Fender / David Gilmour Stratocaster Relic / 2008 / Black / Guitar
|
A true Holy Grail. The one from Atom Heart Mother, Dark Side of the Moon, Animals... and yes, also Live at Pompeii, among others. This is the relic'd version of Gilmour's classic Black Strat, presented in a great exclusive case and with tons of case candy!
The legendary Black Strat is a tribute to Gilmour's guitar in it's latest version. As most fans will know already, it is a 68-69 body refinished in black with a 60's maple neck, which was later changed for a RI '57 neck in 1983. It also features the black pickguard (the Live at Pompeii white one was last used in '74), and the mini switch, which combines bridge and neck pickups in position 1, and all three in position 2. The bridge pickup is a Seymour Duncan SSL-5 (the original Black Strat has an SSL-1C).
Immaculate condition, sensational relic'ing job and case candy detail: Black Strat book included, OHSC with green interior, Live at Gdansk CD, leather strap, etc... COA of course.
Great opportunity to get your hands on a relic Gilmour Strat, they don't show up that often, especially at this price.

Guitar Giraffe, Spain 
In the last few years, online sale for musical instruments has experienced an amazing growth, but has passed right through the pre-owned market (that is, in Spain), limiting it to specialised forums and private owners. This is why Guitar Giraffe was born, the first physical and online second hand guitar and amp store (we like to call it "pre-owned", since we see a big difference between both terms), with a clear commitment of giving new options to guitarists locally and worldwide. Pre-owned guitar stores, so common in UK and USA, were practically nonexistent in Spain. We’ve wanted to fill that empty space by becoming the first physical and online store in our country focused on pre-owned guitars and amps.
