Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour will publish “Three Different Ones,” a three-part podcast series beginning tomorrow.
The podcast is a prelude to the upcoming auction of 120 of Gilmour’s guitars taking place in New York on June 20.
Episode 1, dropping May 31, focuses on his legendary black Stratocaster. The June 7 episode covers the 6- and 12-string Martin acoustic guitars he used in writing and recording “Wish You Were Here” (1975). And the series concludes June 14 with a final episode about his white Strat, serial #0001.
Auctioneers Christie’s announced the Gilmour auction in January. All proceeds will go to charity.
The entire collection was on display at Christie’s on King Street, London, March 27-31. Selected guitars were displayed in Los Angeles May 7-11. Your final chance to see them will be in New York as part of the sale preview that runs June 14-19.

“Three Different Ones” will be freely available on all major podcast platforms. You can hear a 2-minute preview at the Apple site.
