Signed Pink Floyd Guitar To Be Sold In Charity Auction

October 16, 2008
Signed Pink Floyd Guitar To Be Sold In Charity AuctionThose with a few pennies to spare despite the financial crisis gathered in Kensington last night for the launch of a charity auction of a unique white fender guitar.

The instrument is signed by all the members of Pink Floyd and illustrated by ‘The Wall’ cartoonist Graham Scarfe.

The auction is to celebrate the launch of Graham Scarfe’s book, ‘Scarfe of the Wall’, which details Scarfe’s creation of the artwork for Pink Floyd’s 1979 album, ‘The Wall’, a rock opera about the individual’s struggle against society.

The fender is especially valuable as it is possibly the last thing that the late Richard Wright signed before his death from cancer last month. The current bid is £4000.

The only member of Pink Floyd to attend the opening of the auction was drummer Nick Mason. Roger Waters, who resides in New York, was unavailable, while guitarist David Gilmour had to attend a parents’ evening.

Pink Floyd remain one of the most successful rock acts in history, selling over 200million records worldwide since their inception in the late sixties.
