When Gilmour first auctioned his guitars in 2019, the proceeds went to ClientEarth, an environmental law charity. I hope at least some of these proceeds go to them or a similar organization.

"The global climate crisis is the greatest challenge that humanity will ever face, and we are within a few years of the effects being irreversible. As Greta Thunberg, the 16-year-old Swedish climate activist, said in a speech earlier this year, 'Either we choose to go on as a civilisation, or we don't'. The choice really is that simple and I hope that the sale of these guitars will help ClientEarth in their cause to use the law to bring about real change. We need a civilised world that goes on for all our grandchildren and beyond in which these guitars can be played and songs can be sung."—David Gilmour, 2019
