steinberger in the gilmour collection went for 80K! imagine
the realised prices of ALL those guitars are just insane

I'm not as familiar with Gilmour, was he even known to play the Steinberger? At least MK played his at the height of DS mania.

Here he is playing that guitar with Kate Bush.

Thanks! That was good, none more 80s!

That's the same Secret Policeman Thirds Ball when MK played with Chet Atkins.

That's a legendary performance of that Bush iconic song!

What a sad news ! It's not something to do when you're still alive.

Obviously there's no chance I can buy something. Christie's estimates are a joke.  No need to give a try.  :'(
But for sure I'll head to London , go to the preview to admire the beauties one last time before they are gone forever.  :disbelief

Here's a video of the David Gimlour guitar's exhibition for the auction. I think MK's one would be similar:
