The black Fender Stratocaster, played by David Gilmour on six of the bandrCOs albums including rCLThe Dark Side of the Moon,rCY broke the record for the most expensive guitar sold at auction.
The price broke a previous record of $6.01 million, which was set in
2020 by the buyer of the Martin D-18E that Kurt Cobain played on
NirvanarCOs rCLMTV UnpluggedrCY performance months before his death.
Mr. Gilmour purchased the guitar, a black Fender Stratocaster, in 1970
from MannyrCOs Music, the famed instrument store in Midtown Manhattan, according to ChristierCOs.
Mr. Gilmour used it for every Pink Floyd recording and many performances from 1972 to 1983.
He laid the guitar aside for two decades in favor of another
Stratocaster, according to ChristierCOs. He returned to it in 2014 to
record Pink FloydrCOs last album, rCLThe Endless River.rCY

I don't get this "vintage" electric guittar thing. They're just
instruments that happened to be around when Gilmore was buying one. Now, they're supposed to be some kind of Stradivaris. They're just 50 year
old two-by-fours with pickups on them played by somebody who could make
the same things happen on any two-by-four.
