Okay… if you had a big closing number, a tragic ballad full of thundering guitars, strings, and even boys choir 
, would you have the final, big solo played by a
A. soaring lead guitar
B. roaring tenor sax
C. other
This sing is somewhat Floyd-esque… but even there we have examples using both A and B – A in “Comfortably Numb” and B on one of the big ballads from “The Final Cut” (which, incidentally, is one of the most overlooked records ever made)
Thanks for the input –
Context: I would have to hear the composition first.
If you have a thundering guitars, strings, and boys choir, for a tremendous crescendo, counterpointing your guitars, strings and boys choir together would tie it all together.
But again, I haven’t even heard the piece and “Thundering Guitars” is a expression I am unfamiliar with.
Screw it. Just dump a lot of reverb on it and you’ll be good.
I vote for a hard-sync lead synth
You? Really?!?!?! 
Nothing more Floydian than a wailing Gilmore-esque guitar lead.
lol …
A short but super ‘tasty’ Floyd type guit solo
but
Played in unison by every single instrument/vox in the orch. (drums/perc included)
Lyrics could even be given to the choir to ‘sing’ the solo.
{‘-’}
I’ll try to put up a rough mix of the tune, without vocals, in the next 24 hours – hopefully the context will help me decide. It was always meant to be a guitar solo, but lately I just keeping we have enough guitar solos to last us all awhile –
How ‘bout an ‘air’ guitar solo? 
{’-'}
4’ 33 of silence, might make you famous.
My preference for such things is a sound created via Pod Farm 2.5:
This would give you something to love. Really love. Thats my preferred guitar lead sound.
Play on a Stratocaster with the Neck pickup selected, preferably an instrument with a maple fingerboard.
Oooooh… ooooooh… ooooooh…
(When I was a kid this was all I thought about. Now I can actually click a few times and have exactly this sound. When I bought my Stratocaster actually my dearest childhood dream came true.
I have to add that I had a picture of David Gilmour with his red Stratocaster above my bed through all of my teenage years.)
And yes, I agree… The Final Cut is one of “their” best albums (actually it was a “Roger Waters album performed by Pink Floyd”, just sayin’…).
Can’t count the hearts I have melted with my piano version of the title track… 
How about a heavy/death metal monster voice rant?
Mauri .
Hmmm… let me think, what would I choose?..
C. A Piccolo solo?
