Yeah, I was going to put a GAS health warning alert..  But well these are Gilmours guitars so look at your own peril

I can see some I'd buy. Surely a lap steel for $1k is a good idea

ToneControl

How can his main Martin acoustic be only $10 to $20k?

maybe I need to cash in my savings

That red strat looks good value

I missed the chance to see these in London, did @Gassage go to it?

If the auction is in the USA, would we need to pay import duty and VAT?

Excellent quote from the sale:

I once used a Jedson guitar to break my way out of a room I was trapped in. I lived in a house in the country that had a little guitar room with old fashioned studio doors that clamped shut. Late one night the door handle broke and I couldn’t get out. I was trapped inside with nothing but a load of guitars. This was long before mobile phones, so I took the leg off a slide guitar and used it to break out.

Yes

even though the guitars were resident in the UK?

Pricing seems quite conservative - possibly ignoring the gilmour effect? I can see some of these going a lot higher.

yes, even my Mrs thinks so

I would think that number of black starts is due to Fender sending them as pre production approval models prior to the signature release.

I wonder which pieces Mr Gilmour is hanging onto, the recent online interview suggested about 4?

It's a typical auction "come and get me " tactic.

The only one that really gets me trousers tight is that jaguar or the blue 50s strat.

I would like the black Steinberger GM but I don’t think it’s going to happen

Would love one of the Rickys!

Anybody seriously thinking they'll get one? Good luck. Would love to see a member here get one. I'll be forever jealous.

Some of this is bound to end up with @Gassage ;

I might have a flutter, I can see the prices going many times over their estimate. No doubt we will see half of this stuff available through dealers for double what it sells for. 

jacksparrow

That 54 p90 goldtop with wraparound bridge would do me lol.
