The first among them was “Black Strat”, the 1969 Fender Stratocster, which Gilmoor used in any Pink Floyd album, from the album “The Dark Side of the Moon” to the “The Final Cut”. It was this last instrument sold during the day and sold for $3.975 million, which Christie's say is the highest price for a guitar sold at an auction.
The other two guitars broke the one million-dollar threshold: a pre-produced white Strat in 1954 with pieces of gold and the number of serik 0001 (1.815 million dollars) and a 1969-35-altical Martin D-35, with which Gilmore says he composed most of the songs. Her sale price of $1.095 million broke the previous record for a Martin guitar, which was sold for $791,500 for an OO0-42 of 1939, which belonged to Eric Clapton. Another Martin acoustic, a D-12 28 with 12 strings used in “Wish You Wee Here” and <x2Hey You” was sold for $53,000.
The auction also set a new record for the prize for a Gibbson Les Paul, in this case gold-collar guitar (top goal) of 1955 in which Gilmoor interpreted the solon for “Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2,” It's sold for $447,000. His 1984 red guitar Strat, which was its main guitar between 1988 and 2005, was sold for $655,000, the KOHA Ditore writes.
Gilmoor is donating all the money earned by the ClinetEath auction, a global organization that describes itself as <x0nd) a charity that uses the power of the law to protect the planet and the people who live on it. “We are lawyers and environmental experts who fight against climate change and for the protection of nature and environment”.
The global climate crisis is the biggest challenge mankind will ever face, and we are only a few years away from the effects of global warming that are irreversible. I hope that the sale of these guitars will help ClinentEath in their intention to use the law to bring about real changes,” said Gilmour, “We need a civilized world that will continue for all of our grandchildren and the wider in which these guitars can be interpreted and sung. ”
David Gilmoor's wonderful gift will support our work in the battle with the climate crisis and the protection of nature for generations to come,” added the executive director of ValentineEath, James Thornton.
