This was a pretty amazing auction. The centerpiece was Gilmour’s “Black Strat”:
“The Black Strat,” a 1969 Fender Stratocaster which Gilmour used to record Pink Floyd albums “The Dark Side of the Moon,” “Wish You Were Here” and “The Wall,” sold for $3,975,000.
The winning bidder?
Over$4 million for the Black Strat and co!! A record purchase. Honored to support Gilmour’s charity ClientEarth.

Jim Irsay is the owner of the NFL’s Indianapolis Colts. What do you do with a guitar like that? Do you hang it on a wall? Will it ever be played again?
