Any one on here own, or have have played a Rory Gallagher Strat? If so what do you think of it? I'm interested in getting one, but the price tag is definitely holding me back.

Also, I know it comes with custom '60s pickups and was wondering how close they sound to Rory's. Kent Armstrong came out with a series of pickups about three years ago and copied Rory's '61 Strat pickups. Never heard either of them, but I would assume the Kent Armstrong ones are as close as you can get to his sound, pickup wise. Are the ones in the CS Rory Strat just as good?

I had one a few months ago. Even though I'm a big relic fan, I just couldn't get used to the job done on this model. Plus, I could never get the mis-matched Gotoh tuner to work right or stay in tune, so I traded it in.

Hi ryanmohr,you've got a task on your hands.I've tried getting close to some of Rory's sounds for 35 years or so,thing is Rory used to use anything from 3-6 different amplifiers at once!His were standard early 60's pickups which had demagnitized and were hugely microphonic.You can't buy new demagnetized pickups(I don't think) but you could find some second hand ones. You might even consider doing that yourself,takes about 20 years.As with all the guitar sounds we love though-10% gear 90%human or thereabouts!
