2008 Fender Custom Shop David Gilmour Black Stratocaster NOS

在搖滾樂歷史上，很少有一把吉他能像 David Gilmour 的 Black Strat 一樣，擁有如此鮮明的個性與傳奇地位。這把 Stratocaster 不只是一把吉他，它幾乎就是 Pink Floyd 音樂與 David Gilmour 人生的一部分。

這把原始的 1969 Fender Stratocaster 誕生於1969年。當時 Gilmour 在美國巡演期間於紐約著名的 Manny’s Music 購入了幾把 Stratocaster 作為巡演備用，其中一把後來被漆成黑色並逐漸成為他最主要的錄音與演出吉他，也就是日後被全世界樂迷稱為 “Black Strat” 的那把琴。在接下來數十年的音樂歷程中，Black Strat 陪伴 Gilmour 創造了無數經典聲音。從 Pink Floyd 的《The Dark Side of the Moon》、《Wish You Were Here》到《The Wall》，那些空靈而富有情感的吉他旋律，例如 Comfortably Numb 與 Shine On You Crazy Diamond 等音樂作品中的標誌性音色，幾乎都來自這把吉他。

Black Strat 在長年的使用中經歷過多次改裝與更換零件。拾音器、護板、琴頸甚至電路配置都曾多次調整，不同年代的配置也塑造出不同時期的音色特色。這些改動讓這把琴逐漸形成獨一無二的聲音與外觀，也成為樂迷與收藏家津津樂道的傳奇細節。2019年，原版 Black Strat 在拍賣會上以接近400萬美元 的價格成交，相當於台幣1.2億，創下當時史上最昂貴吉他的紀錄，也再次證明了這把琴在音樂歷史中的象徵地位。

由於 Black Strat 在吉他文化中的傳奇地位，Fender Custom Shop 在2008年正式推出 David Gilmour Signature Black Strat 復刻版本，這也是 Fender 少數以如此高規格完整重現經典名琴的計畫之一。

這批復刻由 Fender Custom Shop 團隊依照 Gilmour 本人的原琴資料與測量數據製作，忠實重現 Black Strat 在最具代表性的配置與外觀細節。當時 Fender 推出了兩種版本，包括 NOS (New Old Stock) 與 Relic。

從黑色Alder琴身、楓木指板與琴頸，到電路配置與Custom Shop Fat ‘50s Single Coil搭配Seymour Duncan SSL-5 Single Coil的拾音器組合，並且搭載了非常具有特色的 Bridge Pickup Neck-On Switch，這個小開關能夠在任何拾音器位置下，額外加入 Neck Pickup，因此除了標準 Strat 的五段音色外，還能得到兩種額外組合，這個配置能產生類似Telecaster 的寬廣音色，也是 Gilmour 許多經典錄音中的秘密之一。

這系列復刻推出後迅速成為收藏市場上極具代表性的 Signature Stratocaster 之一，不僅因為 David Gilmour 在搖滾史上的地位，更因為 Black Strat 本身早已超越一把吉他的意義，成為 Pink Floyd 音樂與整個搖滾時代的象徵。

對於樂迷與吉他收藏家而言，Black Strat 不只是外觀經典的黑色 Stratocaster，而是一段音樂歷史的縮影。每一次彈奏那熟悉的延音與寬廣的音場，都彷彿再次回到 Pink Floyd 那充滿想像力與情感張力的聲音世界。

整體九成新，有些微使用痕跡，琴身邊緣有幾處表漆的輕微敲痕，Fret約八成新，整體狀況良好，無搖桿，所有配件如照片所示。目前市場上許多 David Gilmour Signature Black Stratocaster NOS 的價格已上漲至約美金 10,000，本公司提供更優惠的售價，把握機會。

Throughout the history of rock music, few guitars have possessed such a distinctive identity and legendary status as David Gilmour’s Black Strat. More than just a Stratocaster, this guitar has become an integral part of Pink Floyd’s music and David Gilmour’s life.

This original 1969 Fender Stratocaster was manufactured in 1969. During a U.S. tour, Gilmour purchased several Stratocasters from the legendary Manny’s Music in New York City to serve as backup instruments. One of them was later refinished in black and gradually became his primary recording and performance guitar—the instrument that would eventually become known to guitar enthusiasts worldwide as the “Black Strat.”

Over the following decades, the Black Strat accompanied Gilmour throughout his extraordinary musical journey, helping him create countless iconic sounds. From Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here to The Wall, many of his most recognizable guitar tones can be traced back to this instrument. The atmospheric, deeply expressive melodies heard in legendary compositions such as “Comfortably Numb” and “Shine On You Crazy Diamond” are inseparable from the sound of the Black Strat.

Throughout its long playing history, the Black Strat underwent numerous modifications and component replacements. Its pickups, pickguards, neck, and even its electronics were changed and adjusted multiple times. The different configurations used throughout various periods contributed to the distinctive tonal characteristics of each era. These modifications gradually gave the guitar its unique voice and appearance, becoming fascinating details that continue to captivate fans and collectors alike.

In 2019, the original Black Strat sold at auction for nearly US$4 million. The sale set a record for the most expensive guitar ever sold at auction, further cementing the instrument’s iconic status in music history.

Given the Black Strat’s legendary place in guitar culture, Fender Custom Shop officially introduced the David Gilmour Signature Black Strat in 2008. It was one of Fender’s most ambitious projects to recreate an iconic instrument to an exceptionally high standard of authenticity and detail.

The reproduction series was crafted by the Fender Custom Shop team using reference materials and measurements from Gilmour’s original guitar, faithfully recreating the Black Strat’s most representative configuration and visual details. Fender initially offered two versions: NOS (New Old Stock) and Relic.

From its black alder body and maple neck and fingerboard to its electronics and pickup configuration, every detail was carefully considered. The guitar features Fender Custom Shop Fat ’50s single-coil pickups paired with a Seymour Duncan SSL-5 single-coil pickup, along with the distinctive Bridge Pickup Neck-On Switch.

This small switch allows the neck pickup to be activated in any pickup-selector position, providing two additional pickup combinations beyond the standard five-way Stratocaster selection. These combinations can deliver a broader, fuller tonal character reminiscent of a Telecaster, making this switching configuration one of the lesser-known secrets behind many of Gilmour’s classic recordings.

Following its release, the series quickly established itself as one of the most recognizable signature Stratocaster models on the collector market. Its appeal lies not only in David Gilmour’s immense influence on rock history, but also in the fact that the Black Strat itself has transcended its identity as a guitar to become an enduring symbol of Pink Floyd’s music and an entire era of rock.

For fans and guitar collectors, the Black Strat is far more than a classic black Stratocaster. It represents a tangible piece of music history. Every time those familiar sustained notes and expansive soundscapes ring out, they evoke the imaginative, emotionally charged sonic world of Pink Floyd.

Condition: Approximately 90% overall condition, with minor signs of use. There are a few small finish dings along the edges of the body. The frets retain approximately 80% of their original life. Overall, the guitar remains in good condition. 

The tremolo arm is not included. All accessories are as shown in the photos. Many David Gilmour Signature Black Stratocaster NOS models currently command prices of around US$10,000 on the market. We are offering this guitar at a more attractive price, so don’t miss this opportunity.
