2005 Fender Stratocaster Rory Gallager Signature Tribute

This model has been in continuous production by the custom shop since 2004, showing what an iconic guitar it is. This particular guitar is early in the run (April, 2005) and has been very well cared for since. It is a one owner guitar from a collection including other Fender Custom shops and vintage Gibsons. He gently enjoyed it for 20 years, and it’s time to pass it on. This guitar has recently enjoyed the legendary Subway setup and it is ready to play with low action and no issues out of the box. It is a remarkably nice example of this model. It includes all of the original case candy including the tremolo arm and COA in its original hard case.

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 Tribute 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 medium jumbo frets and a synthetic bone nut. Our homage to a true and truly missed master.
