The David Gilmour Guitar Collection Sells for $21.5M

Hopefully some of these make it to museums.

Makes me sad to think of instruments with a history like this belonging to blues lawyers.

The black strat, David Gilmour's main guitar, sold for $4M.

I suppose I'll have to settle for a black Squier lookalike now! Which admittedly doesn't sound bad at all.

So, has Gilmour retired from music or did he retain a few axes to noodle around on?

By comparison, Hendrix's guitar sold for $2.4M. Pocket change.
