Fender To Launch Black Strat In September To coincide with the release of David Gilmour's 'Live At Gdansk' DVD/CD, on 22 September (23rd in US) Fender will be launching the long anticipated David Gilmour Signature 'Black Strat' model. The model is the closest thing to David's own, much-customised guitar, but at an affordable price. The guitar features close renditions of the Black Strat's maple neck, deep black pickguard, shortened tremolo arm and custom electronics, and is the only guitar that can be said to closely resemble the real thing. The final version was only approved when David was happy that all elements combined to make a sound that was as close as possible to his own guitar. MORE INFO UPDATE The price has just been announced by Fender. The 'New Old Stock' version is MSRP $3999.99 and the Relic version $4799.99. FULL TECH DETAILS

Gilmour Leaves Floyd Door Open - Just A Little In a new interview with BBC Radio 6 Music, David Gilmour once again has left the door open for another one off from Pink Floyd. Speaking at the Ivor Novello Awards - where he was presented with a Lifetime Achievement award, David, when asked about another one off show said "Who knows? Who knows the future? I haven’t absolutely said 'no' to that possibility but I think that in reality any sort of long-term thing together is not going to happen. We did the one-off thing and that was probably enough for me but we shall see.” He went on to say “It’s been a long ride so far but it’s not over yet but I have no specific plans for this moment. At my incredibly advantaged age - having achieved this - I’ve earned the right to sit on my arse for a little while and consider what to do next.” Access more of the intervew, and download the Podcast.

Here We Go Again! The silly season is once more amoungst us, and rumours of a Pink Floyd re-union are doing the rounds again.
