Apparently Armstrong found that the '61 start actually had 2 Fender mid '70s pups in the neck and middle and a DiMarzio Fat Strat in the bridge. You can see him playing this guitar on an amazing cover of Nadine below. Looking for something classic/vintage sounding that drives well (hot out put on the bridge) and cleans up nicely. Today, on the anniversary of his passing, we remember Irish blues-rock legend Rory Gallagher. One of these is the 1978 Fender Music Master. I am a little concerned that these pickups won't clean up all that well? As I say, not necessarily looking for Rory Tone so any other suggestions most welcome. 'These replacement pickups are made to the exacting specs as installed and last used by Rory except the middle pickup which has been made reverse wound/reverse polarity to aid in noise cancellation when used with a 5 way switch.' Onstage he wore the same old shirts and denims that he’d wear to the pub. If ever a man let the music do the talking, it was Rory Gallagher. Rory Gallagher was one of the most important and incendiary blues guitarists of his generation. Rory Gallagher photographed for his Top Priority album cover on 11th June 1979. Armstrong went over and analysed every facet of the Gallagher strat and faithfully reproduced it with individually hand wound pickups. Rory Gallagher (1948-1995) is simply one of the all- time guitar greats, This group promotes Rory Gallagher, Chat, Videos Music, Photos in fact anything. Watch Rory Gallaghers Explosive 'Shadow Play' Performance. The Mustang is the tremolo version of the Duo-Sonic they both have two pickups, but the Duo-Sonic has a stop-tail bridge, while the Mustang has a tremolo bridge. I have heard nothing but good comments about the BKP but I have never heard the Armstrongs. Musicmaster is the single-pickup version of the Duo-Sonic it has only one single-coil pickup. Before his career as a solo artist, Gallagher was the guitarist.

Gallagher was a solo artist for much of his career and collaborated with artists such as Muddy Waters and Jerry Lee Lewis.

I'm considering either the Bare Knuckle Irish Tours and the Kent Armstrong Gallagher signature pickups. The discography of Rory Gallagher, an Irish guitarist and singer-songwriter, consists of 11 studio albums, 6 live albums, 13 compilations, and 5 singles. Im building a Rangemaster pedal at the minute too, as I know its a big part of his sound. Im not specifically looking for HIS tone but as a reference its something which I really like the sound of. Im a Les Paul player at heart (thus this forum!) so I rarely play the strat but when I do I would rather it played more like a classic/vintage strat.

But I'm looking for something that I can run S/S/S. Im looking for some pickups for my Lonestar Strat.Īs you may know it is currently set up in H/S/S with a Pearly Gates in the bridge and two Texas Specials.
