Gilmour Gretsch

Post by Rambutan »

I was just wondering if any of you know Dave's gretsch duo specs?

I know it's a Gretsch Duo w/ Bigsby, but other than that I'm unsure. Can anyone clarify for me?

Looking for info on pickups,
Machine Heads,
Bridge,
Neck,
Fingerboard,
Strings,

etc.. Just general specs really


Thanks. 8)

I've heard some rumours that Gilmour's using this guitar on his current solo tour

That looks like the guitar that Rick Nielsen from Cheap Trick plays

Watching Gilmour playing a non-Fender guitar only looks :? to me.
For me David Gilmour = Mr Fender Stratocaster.

And a Gretsch on the Dave Gilmour: Live in concert DVD.

He generally looks at home with any decent guitar...

That is why the solos in 'Dogs' are some of the greatest ever! :D
