The Story

Rory Gallagher Tribute Stratocaster 3-Tone Sunburst

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. The Rory Gallagher Tribute Stratocaster guitar is an exact replica of that revered instrument, right down to the extremely worn 3-tone sunburst alder body, maple neck and rosewood fingerboard. The lack of finish makes this one light and loud Strat.

Includes: Hardshell Case, Strap, Cable, Custom Care Kit, Paperwork, Certificate of Authenticity
