Hi Guys,

I just picked up an 04, Rory Gallagher Tribute Strat from a collector, the guitar has been in a glass case since the owner bought it in 2004 (he's a Rory fanatic, not a player).
My questions are when did Fender first produce the Rory Strat and how do I clean it (body and neck), it's covered in a thick layer of dust as it's never been cleaned or played.

I think, if it were mine, I'd use a soft brush (paint brush) to get the dust off it, and then use a microfibre cloth on its own, no polishes or cleaner, to wipe clean and polish.

Go to an office or computer store (like Staples), and buy a can of canned air. It's invaluable to blow off dust that's settled in hard to reach places, like the bridge, TS socket and under the edge of the fretboard.
