from the Fender article:

After Rory's death in 1995, his brother, Donal commented, "The battle-scars of Rory's Strat® were not down to roughshod treatment, but due to his blood group type, extremely rare, that had a very high acidic content. So when Rory sweated on stage - and he sweated buckets -it was like paint stripper.'
