Fender Custom Shop "Black Strat" (David Gilmour)
The Story
Few guitars are as instantly recognisable as David Gilmour’s Black Strat.
This Custom Shop relic captures not just the look, but the feel — worn in, expressive, and endlessly musical.
It’s a guitar built for emotion, not speed.
Every note feels like it has space to breathe.
