Awesome- I'm a huge Rory fan. I saw his guitar on display in Ireland and visited his grave. Such a killer player, writer, and performer.

Rory was a guitar hero of mine since I first heard him in the 70's. I was fortunate to watch him play many times in the UK. So when Fender released this tribute guitar I had to have one. I've played many strats but when this arrived from Sweetwater I was amazed. I have never played a strat that is so incredibly smooth and so easy to play. I was also living in Houston at the time (2012) and had it set up by Billy Gibbons guitar tech. It is beautiful. Just wish I could play like Rory, but I can dream.. Thank you for playing some Rory riffs on it !!!!!

Irish Tour ‘74…. My top RG vinyl 😎👍🏻

I played this guitar in a shop a few years ago. A super vivid and addictive strat. It rings like crazy. Pickups are quite hot and with a focus on the mids. It's honkier than your average strat and has a fuller sound than most CS-strats. Great guitar. I just could not afford it. ;-(

Loved your Cradle Rock snippets! Rory was a fantastic guitarist. Full of energy and unique tones.

Great stuff Greg ! Surprised the bridge is floating!

If I picked up a Squier Bullet Strat in a music shop that sounded like this, I'd immediately put it back in the rack...

I must agree tgat for a 4k plus guitar the sound is pathetic. My classic vibe 50s strat already overperforms MIM strats (IMHO) and this rory strat is 10 times the price and it doesent even compare to my Squier.

There's not a lot of top musicians that try to cover Rory's songs. Tells its own story.

Looks like a toy in Greg’s hands lol. Sounds incredible! Lawwwwwd hammercy

It sounds amazing but it looks nothing like the original, the paint relicing is dead on but the wood isn't worn away at all

I was just playing along to bad penny yesterday

Wow

why is there no signature song from rory... like layla of clapton or sweet home alabama from ed king.. etc

What amp and pedal? Sounds great

Sounds great, especially in Greg’s hands. Now hunt down Rory’s favourite - a Hawk II Tonal Expander to add to the rig. (That will only set you back about another nine hundred bucks, if you can track one down.)

@@genri.a9128 - Well, there is that....I guess it is wishful thinking on my part. I happen to own a Hawk II. 😁

The Rory tone is defos there.

Unbelievable talent you are. Your lucky you got those Hendrix gorilla hands.

he had a 5 way switch. he changed the 3 way out and also disconnected the middle pickup

Schematic?

Thank you for the video, awesome. But it's pronounced GALLA-HER

Maybe I’m in the minority here but this strat just sounds more woody and dead and doesnt pop out like most other Strats in Greg’s hands. It’s certainly NOT the player! Greg is a force of nature!

Sounds like crap, hurts one's ears

Yep. The amp basicly sucks at low volumes. Need to turn that thing up to get the poweramp sound. Same with the rocker 33 from orange. Same fizzy sound in low volume but at higher it is really awesome.
