The guy is truly amazing, people talk about Clapton, Page, Gilmour as the best in the world, this lad pisses all over them, he can play literally anything.

Sounds very boring with no individuality to me. Similar to most jazz players

Interesting those Baritone guitars, I've never played one. I used to think the Fender Bass VI was a baritone but it isn't really, I don't really know what it is. :)
I wonder if anyone on the thread has played one?

“On this guitar, he carved out his legacy of being one of the greatest guitarists of all time”: Rory Gallagher’s iconic ’61 Fender Stratocaster is heading to auction for the first time ever
As legend has it, Gallagher's Strat was the first to ever reach Irish soil, and it was used by the blues rock ace to cement himself as one of the all-time greats of guitar music

Mate of mine Slug (big Rory fan) has a Rory stratocaster, I've played it a couple of times and I've gotta say it's the best strat I've ever played, it has a fucking awesome feel, (and I'm not a big fan of Rory).... it was expensive but it's fantastic. I've had a Clapton and SRV strats over the years and they don't come close.Get your cheque book out @Bill Walker ............

I'm always really skeptical of buying 'someones' guitar model and how close they actually get it to the original (i.e. do they just paint it the same colour and put their signature on it sort of thing).
However, I do love the thought that they really push to recreate something that is revered by so many.
I've seen Johnny Marr giving Rory's actual one a play and he seemed to be well happy with it.
It should be on display somewhere or toured - shouldn't be in a collectors hands IMHO.............

No, they are all custom shop builds, they take every minute detail from the original. Neck profile, the lot, even fret thickness etc.
The trouble with the Rory one is I didn't like mine after handling/playing it. (or any other) it's so good.

I have the Harley Benton Guitarbass....its tuned like a normal guitar, but an octave lower...and heavier/higher gauge strings.

Its fun to play...but its another type of instrument....it doesnt replace the bass, and doesnt replace the standard guitar (although the Beatles "While My Guitar..." would disagree)
I really like it for inspiration...when writing/recording and adding new and unusual parts to a song.
if you were ooking for a new guitar to just sit and jam. noodle about on...its probably not for you

Noel Gallagher talked about his signature model on the pedal show podcast. It's based of an 80s guitar that had, in noels view, a very thin neck.
I think in the 60s, 70s, early 80s most decent guitar necks were made by hand and the profile was very much an individual thing, 2 guitars could be made on the same day and be very different. Now they have computers that can take the measurements and recreate any profile.
Noels Riviera has got some great reviews if you like that sort of guitar and it seems they did recreate his guitar very accurately.

We have a brand here called Artist. Similar prices to HB and similar models, mainly really good fender and Gibson copies for cheap prices. But they don't do a Bass XI.Shame about not getting Harley Benton....have to say ive been very very impressed with all of their guitars....i just have the guitarbass, but have friends who have their strat, tele, les paul styles....and a mate who has one of their precision basses.....incredible value for money and really nice guitars

There's one on marketplace, a Squier for $600, as new it says, might see if he's negotiable.

What song is this the intro to? I'm not a good guitarist, so just a bit of fun.
