Amazing opportunity
To own an instrument that’s made and seen so much of music history... Wow. 😳
Hey Christie’s, why don’t you have any live stream for the David Gilmour auction? Your website is locked up. Nobody has a cell phone they can stream to RUclips?
素晴らしい‼︎
Hontouni sou des! Watakushi mou sou omoimasu! O genki de.

Where is the full list?
Link in description. Apart from the 0001 strat, seems there is also a 54 strat which they think is a pre production build. No pic tho
@@davidforman6191 I guess it's only stuff I can't afford but still I'd like to see a catalog!
@@theothertonydutch I didnt realise he was selling 120 of them! Guess just a case of watching Christies site for news
you can buy an auction catalogue for £30.00
Holy Mother, find me a way to get that Les Paul.
Very sad news to see that David Gilmour is quitting music.
I hoped for at least one more album.
He truly is an amazing artist.
@Pete's Guitar Lessons TV I guess, as far as I comprehended, the worry was about the art of music as much as about the person… The subject of unrealized potential and of the unfulfilled creative concepts.
Prediction: The acoustic that Gilmour used on "Wish You Were Here" and the "Black Strat" electric used on numerous songs including the legendary solo on "Comfortably Numb" will set records as the highest prices paid for guitars.
Christy's has the "Black Strat" estimated at between $100,000 -$150,000. I think that's an absurdly lowball range and that true fans, ardent collectors with deep pockets, will undoubtedly clash in a bidding war that will launch the sale well into the millions.
DeadBunny69 Your “prediction” is barely worth its salt. Its obvious these will set record prices, but it’s naive to comment on the price estimates. This is a professional auction house, hence the estimates have to be ranged according to actual value of these items, regardless of however “mystical” their provenance might be or whatever “collectors” assume they should be worth. You’re comparing potential emotional response to pragmatic processes in running a business as a rational broker for these sales. They have to maintain a professional opinion and conservative stance in terms of estimating value, not loosely based on sentiments such as “will break all records running into the millions”. How would they prepare statements to the commissioner of the sale (Gilmour) if they estimate $1m and actually sold it at $300k? Who’s gonna be responsible?
Please remember, to make a “prediction” on some internet board based on personal assessment, will have no repercussions. But an auction house needs to make successful sales for their clients as well as estimate their own fees for selling said goods. What You Think, isn’t as important as what the company thinks, as it has mouths to feed and a reputation to uphold.
commandcenter The best indicator for what anything could potentially sell for would be to compare it to similar items that have sold. So we agree.
That however would include taking into account the provenance of the item, something Christie's clearly doesn't do here. Do you disagree?
Considering the top 10 most expensive guitars ever sold at auction went from between just under 1 million up to the 2+ million range, due mostly to who owned the instrument rather than the quality of the instrument itself, my prediction is not rooted in some fan fantasy or an emotional response but firmly based on factual market statistics for similar items.
$100,000 - &150,000 is ridiculously low for a David Gilmour guitar, especially those used for such iconic songs.
@@DeadBunny69 Solid retort.
DeadBunny, I agree with your initial prediction. I would not at all be surprised to see a record set. But the factthat Christie's estimates in their press release Gilmour's 1969 Martin D-35 in the $10,000-$20,000 range indicates to me that on some level they are taking provenance into account. That's a $3500 guitar if it were owned by me.
@@DeadBunny69 No, I'm not saying your predictions or so is invalid.. I'm saying that it's a given. I'm also not implying that you're a blind fan or smth just throwing in an emotionally swayed opinion. You're completely right in terms of the result and to the rest of us (including all those managers involved in the sale), we all know it. But that has nothing to do with Christie's estimate.
I'm saying that as a business, they have certain professional guidelines to follow in terms of how these kind of "estimates" can be published. It is more related to accounting and transactional policies (either internally or agreements between the owner and Christie's) than it is to the actual product they are offering, especially when it is a public sale. The mistake viewers are making is confusing how a business would behave (or can behave) to what we think is reasonable behaviour/reaction when selling an important item.
For example, a recent Phillips sale for an important Daytona owned by Paul Newman was expected to go close to or even exceed 10 million by collectors, but the catalogued estimate was 1 million plus. It's a common practice and it is wise to do so. The company doesn't gain from predicting a high estimate (on paper) but stands to lose very greatly if expectations are not met. Also, from a business standpoint, they are obliged to promote the sale for Mr Gilmour because they are receiving commissioned/brokerage/premium fees for the sales.. hence putting a lower estimate on paper will entice more affluent collectors to participate in the bid.. therefore potentially resulting in a much higher hammer price. That higher closing price will be good for the industry in general, promoting and reviving interest in Pink Floyd's catalogue.. (inflating)prices of some guitars, as well as injecting more blood flow into collector's grade guitars overall..
In short, having a severely "undervalued" estimate on paper can result in an indirect stimulation of the industry in general. This also encourages other legendary musicians to consider auctioning some of their personal, significant gear to public, in turn benefitting numerous charities.
Yeah… sometimes the airports and the airlines handle
the luggage in such negligent flippant ways… If one only could see how they
through check in luggage on the loading caoussell… The Suvarnabumi airport
officials were very nice and compensated me for the torn away top of my backpack…
Luckily, there were no too much precious items, but still… At other airports
and airlines they don’t care at all and can be quite dismissive and rude… How
thigs can be disappearing from such secure areas as the international
airports??? …And very reaching sounds of the guitar strings! I am not the
musician though…
…One day hope to make a song (in English and in
Russian) from those lines… I really, don’t comprehend why it got pasted into
the comment slot in such an awfully awkward brazen pattern… Really, WHY?!
