Despite the fact that David Gilmour's guitar collection contains many high-ticket instruments (his first collectible guitar was a Gibson TV), one stands out shoulders above the rest: his infamous white 1954 Fender Stratocaster with serial number 0001.
Although the guitar wears the prestigious 0001first Fender serial number, it is believed to have been a show piece or a special build. The guitar was apparently Leo Fender's own guitar before being gifted to Seymour Duncan and than making its way into Pink Floyd.
As part of our accurate stamped pre-CBS neck plates, we are pleased to be able to offer this famous serial number for all your Gilmour fans. Created to the same vintage-accurate dimensions and specifications as the rest of our neck plates, these plates are the correct dimensions and thickness, with the right amount of bevel and contour on the corners, chrome plated with the correct, stamped, serial-number font (don't believe anybody who tells you Fender used different types of fonts on different years of production neck plates, it's not true), and are a direct replacement for any Fender guitar or bass (including Stratocaster, Telecaster, Jazzmaster, Jaguar, Jazz Bass, Precision Bass, etc).
Carefully aged to replicate 50+ years of use, this neck plate comes with four mounting screws and is ideal either as a replacement for an original vintage instrument, or as a finishing touch for your vintage/Gilmour replica guitar project.
All of our guitar bodies, necks, accessories, parts, and hardware are aged to customer specification, so if you want a very heavy relicing effect akin to something that's spent its life being dragged behind a truck, we can do that! Equally if you only want a very light almost-NOS effect, that's just as possible. Just let us know and we'll make sure we meet your requirements. The only exceptions are extra-heavy (Gallagher-style) relics, or exact-match relics, where there's a lot more work involved. We are also able to offer a customisation service so if you don't see the finish you want, or the routing you want, just drop us a line to let us know your requirements and we will be happy to discuss the options available to meet your particular project guitar needs. We can also provide all of the hardware, parts and plastics you need to complete your custom relic guitar, either as separate items or in kit form, just ask.
Compatibility
Our parts are of the same high quality as the authentic guitars and parts that were being produced and coming out of Leo's workshop forty-plus years ago. They are intended as authentic vintage reproductions for replacement or repair of genuine vintage instruments, or for building your own vintage relic replica. It goes without saying that our parts are fully compatible with original and replacement vintage American Fender guitars and parts, as well as original vintage hardware. If you are at all unsure about compatibility with other parts you already own, or may be considering for your guitar project, please send us a message and ask and we'll be happy to advise.
Satisfaction Guarantee
Buying custom items online and unseen can be a daunting proposition, especially when it comes to such personal tastes as artificially aged and reliced guitars. For this reason we offer a satisfaction guarantee: if for any reason you're not happy with your items upon receipt, you just have to return them to us for refund. That's how confident we are of the quality, craftsmanship and authenticity of the guitars and parts we sell.
Unless otherwise stated, the price quoted above (£27.50 ) is for the neck plate only, regardless of any other items which may appear in the photographs on this page alongside the neck plate. All parts, hardware, components, and plastics you need to complete your relic guitar project are available separately.
