Jim Irsay’s Pink Floyd guitar sells for $14.6 million, the highest price ever paid for a guitar
The late Jim Irsay collected rare musical instruments. And he made some wise investments.
Via BBC.com, a guitar played by David Gilmour on six of Pink Floyd’s albums sold for a record $14.6 million at auction.
That makes it the most expensive guitar ever sold.
The 1969 Fender Stratocaster, dubbed by Gilmour the ‘Black Strat’, was used on all Pink Floyd albums recorded between 1970 and 1983.

This is, without a doubt, the worst use of money of all time
$14.6M for… a production strat sweated on by Gilmour.
Seriously I am willing to bet that Gilmour would be willing to soil a nice new strat for you for a fraction of that price

I do wonder what Gilmour’s thoughts on this are!

On the bright side, it will be less edgelordy than Waters’

That’s a good point - at least with the guitar you get a beat up old strat, and not just sucker.jpg

But he is overrated isn’t he 
Don’t know if you’ve seen Andy’s channel (Professional drummer) very funny.
