Holy cow

I agree completely, and in fact in the previous pages we saw that the Kossoff actually did not mount a Fender bridge for most of the time.

Maybe not a Floyd specifically, but one of the criticisms at the time was that they opted for a standard Fender bridge (with all its tuning deficiencies, in a guitar primarily—if not only—aimed at heavy metal playing), when in fact the Kossoff clearly mounted different different bridges when it...

Strange World homemade acoustic cover. Even more Pink Floyd-ish at times (some acoustic moments of Barrett-era / Ummagumma come to mind).

The prototype which is also how they should've done it, but I can understand that the configuration would have probably shot to the stars the price for a guitar that wasn't going to be a best seller anyway. (Not that it was particularly cheap, it was a signature after all.)

With that being said, I'm personally happy with the setlist. It's based on the Legacy tour, with all its pros and cons. But it's a good setlist in general. Also,
