Pink Floyd autographed guitar up for bid

Posted July 9, 2011 by Floydian Slip

A custom-painted guitar signed by the surviving members of Pink Floyd is on the auction block to benefit a favorite charity of David Gilmour.

Gilmour, Roger Waters and Nick Mason have all signed the pick guard of the Fender guitar, which has been custom designed with “Dark Side of the Moon” illustrations by artist Ian Emes.

Emmes, who also signed the guitar, is a British animator and film director who has created animated films shown during Floyd concerts and on their DVDs. His guitar artwork mimics the animations shown in concert when the band performs “Time.”

Proceeds of the auction will benefit Crisis, an organization working to end homelessness.

The project is well on its way to raising some serious coin for the organization: Bidding stands at $21,000, with the auction set to expire at 2:45 p.m. (ET) on July 14.
