David used this guitar most famously on “High Hopes” at the Royal Festival Hall, London in June 2001, as part of the Robert Wyatt-curated Meltdown festival. The guitar was also used on the original studio recording of the song.
The guitar was hand-made in 1979 by Jose Maria Vilaplana, who was one of the founders of Alahambra guitars. It features a cedar top, and Brazilian rosewood back and sides.
