David Gilmour has been voted "Fender's Greatest Player" in a poll published in this month's 'Guitarist' magazine in the UK.
The readers poll is part of a
huge celebration in the issue, of the guitar manufacturer's 60th
birthday, taking a look at the ingredients that turned a pioneering US
guitar maker into rock'n'roll's greatest brand.

David appears ahead of such
celebrated musicians as Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Keith
Richards, and Eric Clapton.
The magazine comments: "Gilmour has
achieved what once seemed impossible: he's usurped Jimi Hendrix as your
favourite Fender player ever. His forthcoming solo album 'On An Island'
will offer a rare taste of new material, while his gliding, shining
playing with Pink Floyd not only stands the test of time, it seems to
become ever more popular.."
The February issue - number 273 -
of Guitarist went on sale in the UK on Wednesday 25th January, priced
£5.25, and is available in selected outlets worldwide as an import.
