## Resource

In May 1970, Pink Floyd faced a devastating setback when their U-Haul truck loaded with gear, including David Gilmours fresh Fender Stratocaster, was stolen in New Orleans. The theft resulted in a $40,000 loss and forced the band to cancel shows. However, with the help of the FBI, most of the gear was recovered, except for the four guitars. Gilmour later replaced his Stratocaster and used it to create iconic sounds on several Pink Floyd albums. The guitar, now known as the Black Strat, sold for nearly $4 million in 2022 and set a record as the most expensive guitar ever auctioned.
