The homage to a true and truly missed master.
Description
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. Fender's even
included five Sperzel tuners and one Gotoh tuner, and has replaced the 12th-fret dot marker with white
plastic instead of the original clay. This Fender Strat also features three custom-wound '60s single-coil pickups, aged
chrome hardware, 21 jumbo frets and a bone nut. The homage to a true and truly missed master.
