Wow...

GASP.

 

[pjdude]

I'm a little weirded out that he's selling his black Strat, but happy he's keeping his Telecaster.

 

[Alnus Rubra]

Nice to see the proceeds are going to his charitable trust and will hopefully be used to do good.

 

[Tosca]

Guess I gotta clear some room in the basement for some of these....

 

[sergiodeblanc]

Probably just bought his first PRS.

Undoubtedly!

Unless the fingers are included ..... I'm out. And the Ferrari has to have "once-a-month" rights.

Is Nick Mason selling up too?!

Mmmm a Dave Gilmour signature PRS model! Somewhere @ScottR just blew up!

 

[Tucson Thump]

I thought he still owned the 1964 250 GTO.
I don't care about the F40.

A little peice of me died when I heard this.

Tosca, please pick me up on the way to Christie’s. Sounds like fun.

I’m only half kidding with this.
When Clapton auctioned off his late 80’s dual SLO-100 rig complete with custom Pete Cornish effects and switching system I really had a long hard look at it. When I see what it sold for I kick myself...but then again...I’m not going to be playing any stadiums...in this life.

I dunno, did he ever get his Ferrari fixed up or does he still have a lot of pricey repairs to do?

Something tells me he'll be fine either way...

 

[Shawn@PRS]

He's auctioning off 120 guitars. I think these guitars could bring in north of $10M. The Black Strat alone, will sell for over $1M.

I think this is pretty damn awesome of him, considering the value and provenance of some of these instruments.

I think he’s got a few and keeps them squirrelled away in an aircraft hangar somewhere down south.

David Gilmour signature Black Sky?

I'm also envisioning a James Bond Supervillain-style underground lair with one hell of a jam room.

Kind of like a drumming Dr Evil?!
