. Videos. Fender Custom Shop designers met Donal Gallagher, brother of late great guitarist Rory Gallagher, in Los Angeles in 1997 and received one of the most coveted guitars of all time - Gallagher's heavily worn 1961 Stratocaster guitar. Fender initially built 40 replicas for European sale, but was subsequently besieged with requests for more. The Rory Gallagher Signature Stratocaster guitar is an exact replica of that revered instrument, down to the extremely worn Three-color Sunburst alder body, maple neck and rosewood fingerboard.

It even has five Sperzel tuners and one Gotoh tuner, and the 12th-fret dot marker is white plastic rather than the original clay. It also features three custom-wound '60s single-coil pickups, aged chrome hardware, 21 jumbo frets and a bone nut. The Rory Gallagher Signature Strat comes with a case. Comments about Fender Custom Shop Rory Gallagher Signature Stratocaster Electric Guitar: Bought 10 years ago(made in 2003). I own 6 strats and this the best! Resonate and just inspirational.

Not many made. Probably the 2nd best Strat player ever played this guitar and it was painstakingly reproduced. Comes set up for slide and I lowered the strings as I have a light touch with the slide. Pick ups are vintage you can grab every tone. Neck is slightly thin but you feel every note and get great sustain and feedback. Blues and rock are it's heritage and you are covered with the RG forever!

Rory was a consummate devotee to tone and this guitar lost its paint in the rain after being stolen and tossed into a ditch. Once it dried out it sang and inspired and for me it still does! Comments about Fender Custom Shop Rory Gallagher Signature Stratocaster Electric Guitar: I picked one up used(2011)and it was like brand new, the guy never took the tremolo arm out of the bag.

I was worried about neck size on this because my hands aren't that big. Let me tell you people who are worrying about this which seems to always come up in all the Rory guitar websites, the neck on this model is slim and slender, just a fantastic player, I can hook my thumb over the low E with ease. The tones on this are just pure classic strat(I'm playing through a Fender Supersonic, fantastic amp). It's a lot of money but it is definitely worth it. All of the haters who hate relics and fake wear should try this one, the tones just pour out of it. It's a tribute to a master and I'm proud to own it, very inspiring to play. And once again great neck, you won't be sorry, pro quality.

Comments about Fender Custom Shop Rory Gallagher Signature Stratocaster Electric Guitar: I was at the Nashville guitar show 4 years ago with the mindset on getting a mid-70's Les Paul.

I brought along a 64 Mustang and a reissue Custom Shop Nocaster for trade bait. I narrowed my picks down to 3 Les Pauls.

Sunday I went back to close the deal and saw this old looking Strat sitting in a booth and picked it up and plinked around a bit. This was the motherlode! It felt as though I'd played this guitar for years, neck was like butter. Next step, plug it in. Single coils were true to vintage stock and I was sold. Sure I had heard of Rory but never got into what guitar he used.

Well it's my #1 over the last 4 years. Only a resonator has made it up on stage. It's got the feel, mojo and sound. What a beauty!!

Comments about Fender Custom Shop Rory Gallagher Signature Stratocaster Electric Guitar: I'm tired of being ripped off by Fender, Gibson when selling their so call 'custom shop' guitars. I played this at a local GC. Nice guitar but not close to being nice for the price. Myself and others in the store compared regular strats against this and some beat it while most went toe to toe with it. If you could play like Rory you most likely could make a Squire sound good.

If you have the money or the ego to have something overpriced knock yourself out.
