Includes the original hardshell case and certificate of authenticity.
From Fender:
The Fender Custom Shop Rory Gallagher Signature Stratocaster pays tribute to one of the most iconic and heavily worn Stratocasters in music history. Based on Rory Gallagher’s legendary 1961 Strat, this model recreates the look, feel, and character of the original instrument, from the extremely worn Three-Color Sunburst alder body to the unique tuner setup with five Sperzel tuners and one mismatched Gotoh tuner.
This 2012 build is in excellent condition and features a maple neck with an Early ’60s “C” profile, a rosewood fingerboard, 21 medium jumbo frets, and three custom-wound ’60s single-coil Strat pickups. Other signature details include the 3-ply mint green pickguard, aged nickel/chrome hardware, synthetic bone nut, and the mismatched white plastic dot marker at the 12th fret.
A faithful Custom Shop tribute to Rory Gallagher’s revered Stratocaster, this guitar delivers vintage Strat feel, unmistakable character, and a road-worn aesthetic tied directly to one of the great blues-rock masters.
