Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Made as a Custom Shop recreation of Rory Gallagher’s 1961 Stratocaster, this right-handed signature model centers on a select alder body finished in heavily worn three-color sunburst nitrocellulose lacquer. It uses three custom-wound ’60s single-coil pickups, a three-way switch and a six-saddle vintage tremolo. The rosewood fingerboard carries 21 medium-jumbo frets, while the headstock combines five Sperzel machine heads with one mismatched Gotoh tuner. A deluxe hardshell case, strap and certificate of authenticity are included.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Stage and rehearsal guitars where an intentionally heavy-relic three-color sunburst finish is part of the visual brief.

Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players wanting a clean, non-relic finish.
- Players who need five pickup-selection positions; this guitar has a three-way switch.
