David Gilmour has partnered with C.F. Martin & Co. Inc. to create two signature edition guitars to benefit the David Gilmour Charitable Foundation.
The Martin D-35 David Gilmour is a nod to the guitar Gilmour purchased used outside Manny’s Music Shop in New York City in the early-’70s. His primary acoustic for more than 40 years, the instrument fetched $1.2 million as part of a charitable auction of his guitars in 2019.
The 6- and 12-string versions sell for $5,499.

Sony Music will re-release Pink Floyd‘s “Delicate Sound of Thunder” on Nov. 20.
The Grammy award-nominated film and live album, a document of the band’s “A Momentary Lapse of Reason” tour of 1987-89, will be re-issued on Blu-ray, DVD, 3LPs, 2CDs and deluxe editions with remixed 5.1 Surround Sound.
In addition to the live album and full concert film included with The Later Years boxset last November, all editions of ’20 re-issue will include a 40-page photo booklet, tour poster and postcards. The 3-LP 180-gram vinyl set includes nine songs not included on the 1988 release of the album. And the 2-CD includes eight tracks more than the original release.
Filmed at Long Island’s Nassau Coliseum in August 1988 and directed by Wayne Isham, the re-issued film is sourced from more than 100 cans of original 35mm negatives, restored and transferred to 4K. The film has been re-edited by Benny Trickett from the restored and upgraded footage under creative direction of Aubrey Powell/Hipgnosis.
The sound has been remixed from the original multitrack tapes by longtime Floyd engineer Andy Jackson with David Gilmour, assisted by Damon Iddins.
Sony will handle re-release of “Delicate Sound of Thunder” outside Europe, while Warner Music will manage the European release.
Cinema release still on-hold
On Aug. 20, Trafalgar Releasing announced the film would play theaters one night only, Oct. 15. The next day, the band’s Facebook page revealed that event had been postponed.
James Merchant, Trafalgar Head of Film and Music, confirmed for “Floydian Slip” today there are no updates on a rescheduled release date for that cinema event.
