The auction of more than 120 guitars from the personal collection of David Gilmour of Pink Floyd set new world recorded during a June 20th auction at Christie’s in New York City. There were 2,000 bidders from 66 countries with the highest bid being $3.9 MILLION paid for Gilmour’s Black Strat Fender Stratocaster…that set a world record as did the entire auction which took in $21,490.750. All the proceeds from the auction will be donated to the charity CLIENT EARTH. Gilmour said in a statement that the global climate crisis  is the greatest challenge humanity will ever face and we are within a few years of the affects of global warming being irreversible. Client Earth’s CEO James Thornton said it’s difficult to express just how deeply grateful they are to David Gilmour for choosing Client Earth as the beneficiary of this historic auction. The law is one of the most powerful tools we have to tackle the world’s increasing environmental problems and this gift will boost their work so they can play an even greater role in addressing the climate crisis and securing a healthy planet for future generations.
