I love Gilmour. He's the one that got me into playing the guitar. But no way am I spending that kind of jack on a guitar others can have also. I took my time and built my own, replicating his specs where I preferred as well but went my own direction in Hefner custom neck in nitro (soft V shape) and Fender body (MIM) and Fender CS 54 PUPS (although a SSL-5L bridge PUP), Callaham bridge assy (w/ Gilmour short arm), jackplate and neckplate. I chose not to do the toggle switch mod after reading that even Gilmour never uses it. I was after the look of his but the feel I like. It plays the best of all my Strats (saying something) and rivals my Greco Les Paul for #1 status after having it set up by Rich Beck in Tempe. You can do it much cheaper than the real thing while still getting top notch quality and playability.
