Personal Thoughts:
This is one of the best tribute models Fender Custom Shop has ever done. The relic work is stunning—every chip, wear spot, and fade modeled directly from Rory’s original. But what's most impressive is how this Strat sounds and feels in-hand. It’s lively, responsive, and full of that dry, percussive attack Rory was known for.
You’d be hard-pressed to find another this clean—looks like it’s barely been touched since leaving the shop. No fret wear, no marks beyond the intended relicing that I can see, and all case candy included.
Condition Report:
Excellent condition. No fret wear, no player damage—looks virtually unplayed judging by the frets and chromewear. All hardware and electronics function perfectly. Comes with original tweed case, COA, and all case contents.
