Pink Floyd: David Gilmour streams final episode in guitar auction podcast series



David Gilmour is streaming the third and final episode in a podcast series previewing a June 20 auction of more than 120 guitars from his personal collection at Christie’s in New York.

Featuring a brand new and exclusive interview with Gilmour by host Matt Everitt, each episode focus on a different one of the instruments from the collection while looking at the iconic Pink Floyd music that was recorded on each.

The latest edition sees Gilmour talk about – and play – the famous 0001 serial number white Fender Stratocaster that he used to record 1979's “Another Brick In The Wall, (Part 2)”.

“It is as good a Strat as I have ever played, it's beautiful,” says Gilmour. “How do you improve on perfection?”

The final edition in the series follows episodes highlighting the rocker’s 1969 Black Fender Stratocaster and a pair of Martin acoustic guitars.

Christie's will host the rare event, which is billed as the largest and most comprehensive sale of guitars ever offered at auction, with all proceeds to benefit charitable causes - for more details, visit christies.com.
