Hockey fan - here's what I do.
I got a Fender strat w/ texas special pups.
I play through a good tube head that's real clean.
I use the neck pick-up (Fattest one on the strat), roll back the treble on the guitar about halfway, add my Keeley compressor, and voila!! - pretty close. Now just play like you're a bad ass bluesman!!!

To get that tone you got to play it with real confidence and a strat on the sweet spots (which gilmour finds so damn well)..

Hope this helped..
