Here is a Fender Custom Shop Rory Gallagher Signature Stratocaster, an exceptionally detailed tribute to Gallagher’s legendary 1961 Strat. Originally developed in the late ’90s with direct access to the original guitar, these models faithfully recreate every nuance—from the heavily worn three-tone Sunburst alder body to the unique hardware details, including mismatched tuners and vintage-style appointments. It’s a true Custom Shop recreation that captures both the look and spirit of one of rock’s most iconic instruments.
This example features three custom-wound ’60s single-coil pickups, delivering classic Strat tone with plenty of bite, warmth, and dynamic response. The early-’60s “C” neck profile, rosewood fingerboard, and 9.5" radius provide a smooth, comfortable feel, while the aged hardware and relic finish give it an authentic, broken-in character straight out of the case. It’s equally at home delivering expressive blues leads or raw, driven rock tones.
Condition is excellent, with all relic wear factory-applied and everything functioning as it should. A standout Custom Shop Strat with serious player appeal and collector significance. Comes complete with its original hardshell case and certificate of authenticity.
