David Gilmour’s 2001 Taylor 712-CE

David got this guitar sometime in 2001, in advance of his solo show at London’s Royal Festival Hall on 21st June 2001, as part of the Robert Wyatt-curated Meltdown festival. He used the guitar on almost all of the songs played during that concert, including “Shine On You Crazy Diamond” and “Wish You Were Here”.
