Fender Custom Shop Rory Gallagher Tribute Strat
There is much more to the Rory Gallagher Strat than just the beaten up look. The majority of Rory Gallagher Strats that we've sold haven't even gone to Rory Gallagher fans - they've gone to guitar players just looking for a great sounding & great playing guitar. The thing that strikes you most about the Gallagher Strat is just how great it feels to play - after about 30 seconds it just feels like you've played the guitar everyday for 30 years! We would highly recommend checking out a Gallagher Strat whenever we have one in stock (which due to the very limited numbers that they make, isn't very often I'm afraid!)
Here's what Fender say about the Rory Gallagher Strat
Fender Custom Shop designers met Donal Gallagher, brother of the late, great Rory Gallagher, in 1997 at Los Angeles International Airport and received a gig bag holding one of the most coveted guitars of all time - Rory's worn-to-the-wood 1961 Stratocaster guitar. Fender initially built 40 clones for the European market, and was subsequently besieged with requests for more.
The Rory Gallagher Tribute Stratocaster guitar is an exact replica of that revered instrument, right down to the extremely worn 3-Color Sunburst alder body, maple neck and rosewood fingerboard. We've even included five Sperzel tuners and one Gotoh tuner, and we've replaced the 12th-fret dot marker with white plastic instead of the original clay. It also features three custom-wound '60s single-coil pickups, aged chrome hardware, 21 jumbo frets and a bone nut. Our homage to a true and truly missed master.
