#0001 Fender Strat - David Gilmour (Pink Floyd) at work video free download

Great improvisation at Abbey Road (London) Jeff Baxter (formerly of Steely Dan and the Doobie Brothers) plays the rhythm parts. Although stamped with the #0001 serial number, it's not the first ever-made Stratocaster. The unusual colour and the gold hardware indicate that it might be a showpiece made for a special occasion or for an employee. The neck is signed "TG 6.54", referring to Taddeo Gomez June 1954 and the body has a handwritten signature "Mary 9.28.54", referring to Mary (this could very well be Mary Lemus, a Fender factory employee. Mary began work at Fender in 1954 as an assembler, eventually becoming a final assembly supervisor -- thank you Mike Rego) September 28. 1954. According to Guitarist journalist David Mead, who examined the guitar for an article in 1995, the ash body is indeed white although it might appear to be aged Olympic White. The guitar features an anodized gold 8 hole 1-ply pickguard, custom gold plated tremolo system and output jack and Kluson Deluxe tuners. The pickups appear to be original 1954 Fenders with a 3-way pickup switch (the 5-way switch didn't surface until the mid 70's). (info from gilmourish)
