I think I read somewhere that Gilmore collects Stratocaster's. I think he owns serial #1 though he believed it probably wasn't the first one made.

I loved Gilmore's solo stuff but found the first Floyd albums after Waters left seemed to me to be very monotone.

Gilmore was never above singing about politics though; His Song Cruise on "About Face" was lyrically a great little satire piece on nuclear war. It is well written where he sings to the cruise missile as if it’s a person.

Yes, Gilmour has the Strat numbered "1," although it isn't the first ever made. IIRC, there were no serial numbers on Strats the first year or two, and they might have restarted numbering at some point.

I think he's got a Broadcaster or two, but I might be mistaken.
