Black Strat went for $3.97m/£3.1m and the D35 went for £1.1m which is record auction price for a Martin. Everything went for about $21.5m/£17m. Amazing although not surprised. Money going to climate change organisation.

The owner of the Indianapolis Colts, Jim Irsay has an extensive guitar collection. He is the person who purchased the black Strat.

When it comes to charities he has been known to be very generous.

Irsay also purchased the acoustic that “Wish You Were Here” was composed and recorded on.

I saw this on another forum.

I think it's really commendable for a wealthy person to do this and then donate the majority of the proceeds to his chosen charity.

Bravo, Mr. Gilmour!
