David Gilmour’s 1969 Black Fender Stratocaster went for $3,975,000 at an auction at Christie's in New York, which broke the world record for most expensive guitar sold at an auction. The famed guitar was used on most of Pink Floyd’s albums throughout the ’70s. It was originally estimated at $100-150,000. There were over 120 guitars up for auction. His white 1954 Fender Strat sold for $1,815,000, Gilmour’s 1969 Martin D-35 Nazareth acoustic, said to be his favorite guitar and main studio acoustic, sold for $1,095,000. This broke the auction record for a D-35, previously held by Eric Clapton’s 1939 OO0-42, which sold for $791,500 in 2004. The purchaser of the Black Strat and the Martin D-35 was Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay. There were over 120 guitars up for auction, and it raised a total of $21,490,750. All proceeds will go to charity that fights climate change. Rolling Stone...
