Guitars used by David Gilmour on Ummagumma

Solid Body Electric Guitars

Fender 1951 Telecaster

Avg price: $2,762.76

The back of the Ummagumma album cover features a Fender Telecaster that appears to be a late 1950s model with a natural brown body and maple neck. Like several of David’s Teles, the “lipstick” cover was taken off the neck pickup. The guitar is later seen in Paris, France, September 12. 1970 and in Lyon, France, June 12. 1971. David bought this after his white Telecaster got lost during the band’s visit to the US in July 1968 and luckily it was the only instrument that didn’t get stolen in May 1970.

Vintage & Electric Pianos

In a gear list provided by Fika, Richard Wright is mentioned as having the Mellotron M400, although he never recorded with it.

You can clearly hear a Mellotron being used on the tracks of 'Sysyphus' off the studio portion of the double LP, "Ummagumma".
