Gilmours gear for the rhythm part on "Another brick in the wall"

[JohnnyGuitar]

What gear did he use for the clean parts of the song (part 1 and/or 2)? I know the famous solo was played with a Gibson with P90s (through a Hiwatt?).

What guitar and amp were used for the clean parts (the groovy chords, the nuted sinle note line)?

Probably a Strat. Definitley sounds like one. I wasn't aware that the solo was with P90s. That too sounds very "Stratty".

At first glance I thought the title to this thread was "Gilmour Girls rythym"

Sorry, but I am no help on the actual question.

amazingly enough the solo was done with the guitar you describe, but it was plugged in straight to the board! yea, he went direct. i think it was later re-amped though. guitar world had a huge article on pretty much the history of his gear. think it was about 3 months ago.

Ya direct early 50's LP Goldtop with P90's for sure on the solo, i heard they distorted it a little at the board somehow by cranking it up on the mixing board until it distorted.... this was said to of once been a classic 60's studio thing to add more distortion to a guitar track recording.

In a bootleg video i have from one of the 1980/81 wall shows it shows Gilmour using that Goldtop live on that tune...

As far as the rythym goes i'm sure i remember reading it was a strat into a Fender amp... a Twin or Bassman maybe... not sure.... But it does not sound like it would be that hard of a tone to copy
