From faithful reproductions of classic axes of the past to fully tweaked customs built to an individual's personal specifications, few instruments command the level of respect afforded Fender Custom Shop models. There are degrees of Fender Custom Shop models: Stock Team-built and Team-built Custom. A select few instruments are handbuilt by the Master Luthiers, the same luthiers that build custom instruments for the likes of Eric Clapton, Keith Richards, and Merle Haggard. This is the Fender Custom Shop Rory Gallagher Tribute Stratocaster.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 even included five Sperzel tuners and one Gotoh tuner, and they've replaced the 12th-fret dot marker with white plastic instead of the original clay. It also features three custom-wound '60s single-coil pickups, aged chrome hardware, 21 jumbo frets and a bone nut. This is Fender's homage to a true and truly missed master.Fender Custom Shop Rory Gallagher Tribute Stratocaster Features: Color: 3-color Sunburst, (Nitrocellulose Lacquer Finish) Body: Select Alder Neck: Maple, Early '60s "C" Shape, (Nitrocellulose Lacquer Finish) Fingerboard: Rosewood, 9.5" Radius (241mm) No. of Frets: 21 Medium Jumbo Frets Pickups: 3 Custom '60s Single-Coil Strat Pickups Controls: Master Volume, Tone (Neck), Tone (Middle) Pickup Switching: 5-Position Blade Bridge: American Vintage Synchronized Tremolo Machine Heads: 5 Sperzel Die-Cast Machines with 1 Mis-matched Gotoh Tuner Hardware: Nickel/Chrome Pickguard: 3-Ply Mint Green Scale Length: 25.5" Width at Nut: 1.650" Aged White Plastic Parts Original Dot Spacing Clay Dots with One Mis-matched White Plastic Dot at the 12th Fret Slot-Head Mounting Screws in Selector Switch, Heavily Worn and Distressed with Most of the Paint Missing, Replicates the Wear Patterns of Rory's Original Guitar Deluxe Brown Hardshell Case Strap Cable     This beautiful instrument weighs 7.83 pounds.     Place a Bid!
