I still have my 1969 Univox copy of a Gibson ES335. It looks exactly like Lucille. My son had it at his apartment for awhile and a couple of friends (music schoolers) tried to buy it from him. Thankfully, his better sense prevailed.

Personally, I never liked solid bodies too much.

I recently heard a David Gilmour interview and I believe he said he has a Strat with the serial number 00001 (something like that - - it was the first one). Gilmour says that the Strat is simply the best guitar ever made for people who play electric guitar. David apparently has a nice guitar collection (surprise, surprise).

It's 0001, and it's actually not the first one made, although it was definitely in the model's 1st year. It probably was a one-off custom model for a specific customer. It's got an opaque blonde finish, gold anodozed pickguard and gold hardware.

He played it at the special all-star concert they held for the 60th anniversary of the Stratocaster. Definitely sounds great!
