Guitar world : “Of the a hundred and twenty guitars which can be being auctioned, which might be the most precious to you?”

“Well, glaringly, the Black Strat. It has served me incredibly nicely. It’s on all of the pink Floyd records from the Nineteen Seventies. The opening notes of “Shine on You Ceazy Diamond” fell out of that guitar at some point in 1974, and the solo on “Comfortably Numb” was performed on that guitar.

My 1969 Martin D-35 is something I’ll miss. I used it for the  lead parts on “Wish You Were Here,” and it become my essential acoustic guitar via the Nineteen Seventies. I still use it all the time. It’s the nicest guitar i have for just undeniable, directly strumming. I’m also auctioning my Martin D12-28, which is the 12-string I wrote “Wish You Were Here” on.

After which there’s my Ovation 1619-4 six-string acoustic that changed into very useful to me for a long time because of its internal electronics. It’s additionally critical because that’s the guitar I restrung the use of a number of the excessive strings from a 12-string set, which inspired me to put in writing “Comfortably Numb”. I used it for nearly each live performance of “Comfortably Numb” over time.”
