One Red-Hot Rig: Fender’s Stevie Ray Vaughan Stratocaster Cary Mar 17th
OK, I’m not usually a huge fan of signature guitars — the concept just seems a little too “worshipy” to me — but Fender’s gorgeous Stevie Ray Vaughan Stratocaster is something else entirely. In fact, I’m half tempted to buy one of these beauties and just strip off the “SRV” pickguard in favor of something more subtle.
Designed by Stevie Ray Vaughan just shortly before his incredibly early death, this is one fully-loaded Stratocaster — it sports a number of unique features, like an inverted left-hand tremolo, an oval shaped neck, and of course a trio of Stevie’s signature red-hot Fender Texas Special™ single-coils.
In a word: this is one house-rockin’ guitar… those pickups just pop!
The Fender Stevie Ray Vaughan Stratocaster Features—
- Alder Body
- Maple Oval-Shaped Neck
- Pau Ferro Fretboard With 21 Frets
- 3 Texas Special™ Single-Coil Pickups
- Master Volume & Two Tone Controls
- 5-Way Pickup Switching
- Left Handed Tremolo
- Gold Plated Vintage Hardware
- Engraved “SRV” Pickguard
A really nice guitar set-up for sure, and the price even includes an old-school tweed hard case.
