Syd Barrett’s “Mirror Disc” Telecaster guitar is the instrument with which he is most widely associated, even though it isn't actually a Telecaster at all; it is in fact a Fender Esquire '62. Barrett purchased the guitar in early 1965 and towards the end of 1966 customized it by sticking 15 polished metal discs on the front of the body, which reflected the blaze of Pink Floyd's early light-shows to great effect.
Syd Barrett used the guitar on all of his recorded work with Pink Floyd, but subsequently swapped it for a white 1964 Fender Telecaster. He later regretted doing this, stating that the Esquire had always been his favourite instrument. Unfortunately, the whereabouts of the original is unknown and a reproduction had to be made for the Pink Floyd exhibition, Their Mortal Remains.

OBSCURED BY CLOUDS, 1972
Wedged between Meddle and The Dark Side Of The Moon, Pink Floyd released Obscured By Clouds. The band's second outing as composers for a Barbet Schroeder film (the first being More), the material consisted of music for the soundtrack to the movie La Vallée.
Either side of a Japanese tour, the songs had been hastily written and recorded during two one-week periods in February and March in the Strawberry Studio at the Château d'Herouville, near Paris. Musically ahead of its time, it contained excellent harmonies between David and Richard Wright both vocally and instrumentally. Along with the bullet Strat, David Gilmour used The Black Strat for the recording.
Exploring what could be achieved utilising the additional second socket, an XLR wired as a send and return that David had recently fit to the guitar, he used it with his usual set up of equipment consisting of Hiwatt amps with Wem 4 × 12 cabinets plus effects: a Binson echo, Fuzz Face distortion, Dearmond 610 volume/tone pedal, Vox Wah-Wah, Univibe and Colorsound Power Boost. The recently acquired newly developed EMS VCS3 and AKS Synthi synthesisers offered an additional range of sounds.
Despite the hectic recording schedule the album gained critical praise and contains some powerfully sublime moments, exhibiting elements of what was to come with The Dark Side Of The Moon
Disc & Music Echo called it "an amazing album” …
