Rory Gallagher's 1961 Stratocaster valued at £1m

admin admin | 07-10 00:15



The guitar has been in a bank vault in London to keep it safe since Rory died. It has occasionally been played by some famous guitarists like Johnny Marr and Joe Bonamassa.

It has also gone out on exhibition to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in the US.

Dónal said exhibiting the guitar has become more difficult because of rules around the hardwoods it is made from and its ivory pegs.

He cannot play guitar himself, so he has decided to sell it and put the estimated value of £1m into ‘Rory projects’ and to other good causes.
