According to the entry for the 8th of October on the DG Blog:

Quote:
As we explained last week, the David Gilmour Stratocaster is likely to be launched the same week as the Blu-ray version of 'Remember That Night'. That is to say, around Thanksgiving in the US.

This is still not carved in stone, however.

Although we had hoped that its availability would coincide with the European and North American release of the 'Remember That Night' DVD last month, this has not been possible due to reasons of quality and suitability: basically, and quite rightly, David wouldn't give Fender his approval until he was completely happy with their prototype, so it took several attempts to get it just so.

However, there is some good news to come from the delay (as if the guitar being as close to the original as possible isn't good enough).

David's long-time guitar technician, Phil Taylor, has written a history of David's famed black Strat, and a copy of this book will be included with each guitar purchased.

We've seen some sample pages and can confidently say that it should be of interest to guitarists and non-guitarists alike, owing to the magazine-style mix of photos and facts.


As far as I know, it will be a Custom Shop model, pretty expensive - I've heard in the mid 4 figures!

Hope this helps,

Gil 8)
