David Gilmour’s guitar collection set several auction records when 130 instruments went up for bid at Christie’s in New York. The former Pink Floyd frontman’s most iconic instrument, the so-called Black Strat, fetched $3,975,000.
Other items sold included a 1954 Fender Stratocaster with the serial number 0001, which was used on the recording of ‘Another Brick in the Wall Part 2’ went for over $1.8 million, a 1958 Gretsch White Penguin went for $447,000, and a 1955 Gibson Goldtop Les Paul, also used on “Another Brick” sold for $447,000. Christie’s declared all to be “world auction records.”
