Anyone seen David Gilmour played this PRS?

[FunkyFreeman]

My friend got this rare photo somewhere. It looks like Gilmour is playing a PRS guitar. I tried to Google this but couldn't see any related results.

Anyone has seen this before? What concert? What PRS model?
Thanks!

Guys, after taking a careful, closer look, I begin to think that this guitar is NOT a PRS. Here's why:

- The maple top looks too flat and thin for a PRS
- Headstock looks a bit different than PRS's; in this picture the scoop looks too shallow and both headstock ends seem to be at the same length.
- tuning poles are different in shape from PRS Phase tuners.
- I don't see black locking bolts on tuner posts.
- I don't see serial number writing on the end of the headstock. Yes this area in the picture is out-of-focus, but at least it should be presented, even in blurry form.

Maybe I am totally wrong. Someone can shade some light on this.

It looks to me like an older Custom 24.

looks like a prs top to me.

It looks to me like David Gilmour is performing in a tuxedo and wearing a bow tie, which shocks me more than seeing him play a PRS.

Well, that would explain why he broke out his good guitar.

Is that David Gilmour or is it Nardge Penberphough?

Do you think he had to use the F strap?!

(Contractually obliged!)

He’s not averse to using several different guitars.

It should be captioned:

“What the heck are these three extra frets doing here?!”

Giggle!

Dude...you know PRS already makes a DG Signature model...

 

[Alnus Rubra]

Dave Grissom and Dave Gilmour playing together, that would be some gig!

 

[FunkyFreeman]

Hahaha. Thanks for your inputs guys.

IDK, maybe it's like you guys said, I might be wrong.

Hopefully someone may have some more photos of the event.

I Googled around for "David Gilmour tuxedo" and found very little useful info. He seems to have been at a couple of events maybe around 2013 or 2014 wearing a tux with no beard. He's had a beard since about 2015 - though he may have shaved it off recently, I suppose.

Could have been a "Private event". Weird.

 

[ViperDoc]

Definitely PRS.

 

[jxe]

can’t say about the guitar but he is definitely playing ‘whipping post’.

Indeed. Maybe he’s finally taking this guitar thing seriously.
