Does David Gilmour own the first “serial numbered” Fender Stratocaster in existence? Well, according to many vintage guitar experts, the answer is a resounding NO. While David’s Strat is indeed numbered 0001, it seems most likely that this guitar was not a standard production item. Most likely, it was a promotional guitar of some sort. The actual first serialized Fender Strat wears the number 0100 and was a much more common burst finish with a white pickguard. The more you know! #Stringjoy #guit
