It’s now in the fine art market. Different rules and worth every penny.

Yes, quite a rise since Jim bought it.

..and here I thought I was gonna get to hear the new @Eagle joint

If you buy for that amount it must be seen as an investment. Don't think it's one that will have a big chance of going further up. On the other hand

While the EverTune on my PRS Singlecut is a bit of an eyesore, it does work as advertised. It literally never goes out of tune and maintains perfect intonation across the neck. I wish they would hurry up and release version two that offers a smaller footprint and less body routing....and the bass version that they teased a few years back.

As a true musician Gilmour always knew the guitar itself is just a tool and not where the music comes from, probably how Leo (Fender) intended all his instruments to be used.
Every single part in it was replaced numerous times except maybe the body, the guitar itself was gifted (0$) to a cafe where it was displayed without protection and was slowly souvenir-ed by the cafe shop customers.
Gilmour is probably laughing about how his beat up old part-caster was sold for such an outrageous amount.

Err no.
The black Strat was loaned. I saw it when he got it back. And Leo was trying to make guitars that had the vibe of cars and less like the competition. And much cheaper to make using non skilled workers.
