Gilmour's Black Strat sells for $3,975,000 at Christie's

[aion]

Just a few minutes ago. Smashed the record for most expensive guitar ever sold. Second place was the "Reach Out to Asia" tsunami relief Strat back in 2005 ($2.7 million).

I sure as hell hope it's a musician and not a collector. It would be a shame for it never to be played again.

My guess: Roger Waters bought it to install in a urinal

It's Jim Irsay of the Colts, I believe.  Billionaire.

I came up just short.

That WOULD have been funny to see a video of Waters burning it in his fireplace...
