La Rory Gallagher Tribute Stratocaster (reverb.com). E' interessante vedere la testa delle viti dello switch nella seconda foto, le meccaniche double "Fender" stamped a direzione inversa e il decal, consumato, "PAT 2,573,254 2,741,146 2,960,900" che, in realtà, non veniva ancora utilizzato sulle Stratocaster del '61 come quella di Rory.
