IMHO I think Irsay got a bargain. David Gilmor has a unmatched melodic style. I'd play it. Not hang it on a wall. 😁

A relative bargain. A quality cello used in a symphony orchestra can sell for 10 million or more.

donate all proceeds from the auction to ClientEarth, an environmental law charity that will use the funds to help in the fight against climate change

Made some rich lawyers very rich.

I wonder how much Neil Young would get for Old Black? But I don’t think he’s ready to sell.

Regardless of your opinion of a media mogul like Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Isray,

The name is "Irsay", one of the most infamous names in sports management.

Dang, all the money is going to lefty lawyers making mischief. At least the money isn't going to Planned Parenthood.

Predictable that it went for something useless.....

"ClientEarth, an environmental law charity that will use the funds to help in the fight against climate change."

I guess it’s a little better than my Mexican Strat. Both black though!

I believe that he owns one or more Jerry Garcia guitars.

Well Gilmour isn’t a shredder by any means but he’s has a monster guitar sound. Another guy like that is Billy Gibbons. Their sounds are instantly recognizable.
