My new and beautiful Strat

Behold me new David Gilmore Strat.

Your probably thinking "Are you nuts?" "You spent 4000 dollars on a signature Strat."

The answer is no. My dad works for DBM (a repair shop in new york) and had been disgusted that they would sell a Strat for 4000 dollars. Taking it into his own hands, he bought the body, the neck and the tremelo system and through it together.

The guitar got its christening. My dad was finishing it up in the shop, and one of the roadies from Pink Floyd comes in with an effect unit that was needed for repair. He see's the guitar and starts to play all of the David Gilmore stuff :P.

Point is, Great Guitar, great story.

oh wow, thats a very nice guitar!
im quite a big fan of strats and the s shape in general.

congratz on the nice guitar, whats the tone like on it?

It's very Mark Knopfler-ish. Distorted, it has a very "crystal" like tone.

@ Littlewing,
Great story and fabulous guitar! And by the way, one hell of a Dad you have. you'll be remembering him with something special for the holidays? He has earned it!
Treat that "lady" right, you hear?
Phip

Hehe, probably a new drum kit will suit him. He's really into that stuff.

I hate strats.

i dont like them either, too bulky for me.

but thats a sweet deal

I completely understand why you hate Strats. I used to have Epiphone Les Paul an when I switched to a Strat, it was very awkward.

Strats are much better thn telecasters in my opinion. Did you flip your image or are you actually left handed? The Fender logo looks backwards.

cool guitar and cooler story.

For some reason, my computer naturally flips the image. BTW, I happen to have a few Teles(built of course)

hell yeah, tele's sound too springy for my taste.

They very are very bright, sometimes to the point where its painful, but
eventually you get used to it.

All of them built, huh?

You know... it's coming to Christmas soon... *cough* *cough*

:D
