There is always http://www.gilmourish.com wich describes all the mods that David Gilmour did to his black strat, a good place to buy parts is also guitarfetish.com they have very good prices. I can help you along with it to.

Not very gilmourish is it although i think that would sound killer for playing dogs on.
