Famously his number one from the early 1980s through 2010, the original was a 1957 reissue finished in candy apple red, modified and played on countless Pink Floyd tours and recordings. This Glas Guitars build is a hand-crafted recreation of that iconic instrument, finished in relic candy apple red and built in Los Angeles as part of our Golden era Collection.\u003cspan aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"529\" data-end=\"1004\"\u003eFender neck is a slim C-profile maple piece that’s been relic’d to simulate decades of play: rolled edges, crowned\/dressed\/polished frets, and a hand-shaped nut. It’s finished in hand-rubbed nitro for a smooth, played-in feel. The vintage period correct decal is lightly aged, and the pocket fit is tight and stable — exactly how a pro Strat should feel. The build is completed with a Glas Guitars branded neck plate, our signature mark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1006\" data-end=\"1275\"\u003eThe alder body is finished in candy apple red and relic’d by hand to replicate the dings, dark metallic flecks, and wear patterns seen on Gilmour’s guitar. It’s exceptionally light at only 7.2 lbs, just like Dave’s original. In hand, it looks authentic and feels alive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1277\" data-end=\"1774\"\u003eElectronics are the original first-run DG-spec EMG set with the complete matching harness. Plastics are single-ply with a light relic; parchment controls and cream EMGs complete the look. The 9V battery is tucked under the guard with double-sided tape, just like the original, remove three or four screws to swap when needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1776\" data-end=\"2273\"\u003eHardware is period-correct and relic’d: Fender vintage-style tremolo set to Dave’s specs, with all screws and metal parts aged to match. Bridge string spacing is the modern 52 mm spec, giving it a slightly tighter and comfortable feel under the picking hand.The tremolo cavity has also been lined with neoprene to reduce unwanted spring resonance and sympathetic vibration. It keeps the guitar quieter between notes and under higher gain, while preserving the natural feel and response of the tremolo system.The guitar is strung with 9–42s and set crazy low — effortless to play, smooth up and down the board, and an absolute joy under the fingers. The only deviation from the master’s spec is the shortened trem arm, which we can fit on request.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2275\" data-end=\"2285\"\u003eneck specs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2287\" data-end=\"2750\"\u003eScale Length: 25.5\" (648 mm)\u003cbr data-start=\"2315\" data-end=\"2318\"\u003eNut Width: 1.650\" (42 mm)\u003cbr data-start=\"2343\" data-end=\"2346\"\u003eNeck Profile: C\u003cbr data-start=\"2366\" data-end=\"2369\"\u003eDepth at 1st Fret: Approximately 20.5 mm\u003cbr data-start=\"2409\" data-end=\"2412\"\u003eDepth at 12th Fret: Approximately 21.3 mm\u003cbr data-start=\"2453\" data-end=\"2456\"\u003eFingerboard Radius: 9.5\" (241 mm)\u003cbr data-start=\"2489\" data-end=\"2492\"\u003eFrets: 21 med jumbo\u003cbr data-start=\"2509\" data-end=\"2512\"\u003eTruss Rod: Heel adjust\u003cbr data-start=\"2580\" data-end=\"2583\"\u003eNut: Hand-shaped\u003cbr data-start=\"2599\" data-end=\"2602\"\u003eTuners: Kluson deluxe vintage-style\u003cbr data-start=\"2637\" data-end=\"2640\"\u003eFinish: Hand-rubbed nitro, relic’d satin amber feel\u003cbr data-start=\"2712\" data-end=\"2715\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2752\" data-end=\"3074\"\u003eThis guitar plays every bit as good as it looks. With the original first-run DG EMG set delivering the same clarity, punch, and sustain that defined Gilmour’s live sound, paired with a relic’d Fender platform that feels like an old friend, it’s a vintage look and sound with modern functionality — the best of both worlds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3076\" data-end=\"3499\"\u003eNow — love them or hate them, relics are what they are. But we ask that you take a moment to appreciate the amount of hands-on work that goes into every inch of a build like this. We’re not striving to make 100% historically accurate museum clones — we’re riffing on the era with a player-first mindset. These are art pieces as much as instruments, with every choice made to look, feel, and most importantly, sound amazing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3501\" data-end=\"3595\"\u003eThe guitar ships in a relic’d Fender case — the perfect companion to this tribute build.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3597\" data-end=\"3753\"\u003eAt GG, every instrument we list goes through a complete service and setup before it leaves our shop.
