This is a rare, road worn 2010 Fender Custom Shop Rory Gallagher Signature Stratocaster, and boy, does it sing the blues. Drenched in mojo with a 3-Color Sunburst finish over an alder body, this Strat captures Rory’s spirit from headstock to strap button. It’s got an early '60s C-shaped maple neck, rosewood board with 9.5" radius, medium jumbos, and single coils that wail like “A Million Miles Away.” You’ll spot the mismatched Gotoh tuner (another Rory-ism), classic bent steel saddles, 3-way wiring, and just enough wear by the neck pickup to make you believe it’s played “Cradle Rock” in a sweaty Irish pub. Weighs in at about 7.8lbs on my scale and it comes with the COA, paperwork, Fender hardshell case and original tuners.

Condition wise, this guitar is in really good shape. I seldom list anything above Good, as I'd rather underpromise and overdeliver to you. That said, overall this one is very clean with just a few small marks, smudges and light finish swirls on the top, sides and backside - truly nothing major to report on, all of which are likely part of the factory relic on this guitar (do note this). These have a very thin finish that shows wear with ease. Please review all photos. I did not pull this one apart, thus I cannot confirm the electronics down to every detail. What you see pictured is what I’ve documented. The neck is straight and the truss rod turns fine.

• Payment: I do not consider an order final until payment has fully cleared. Please complete payment promptly. Unpaid orders will be cancelled and relisted after 4 hours. I apologize if this feels strict, but repeated non-payment has made this necessary.
• Photos: Review all photos thoroughly. I'm only able to upload 25, so zoom in and scrutinize every pixel if you've got concerns. If there's anything else you want to see, message me before purchasing or making an offer, happy to help!
• Shipping: This guitar ships with Reverb Safe Shipping, which requires a signature upon delivery. I ship from humid, coastal Florida, so don't be surprised if it arrives with a hint of sea salt and Gulf Coast charm. I always recommend letting guitars acclimate before opening the case, just to be safe!
• Condition & Setup: I did my absolute best to document this listing with care and honesty, likely using every photo Reverb allows. But let's be real: I'm not a shop. I'm Jake. You're buying a guitar, not a professional setup, so expect to give it your own tweaks. I'll detune it before shipping, so show it some love when it arrives.

Questions? Message me anytime, happy to help.

That's all, folks. Thanks! 🤘
