Rory Gallagher’s signature guitar coming home to Ireland after €840k auction sale
The iconic guitar was part of a sale of almost 100 lots in the Rory Gallagher Collection at Bonhams.
It’s coming home — rock and blues legend Rory Gallagher’s famous Fender Stratocaster is to be donated to the State after it was bought at auction in London today.
Made in Fullerton, California, in 1961, and bought by teenage Rory Gallagher from Crowley’s music store in Cork two years later, the famous Fender Stratocaster was sold for a hammer price of £700,000 (€841,000) in London on Thursday evening.
