Fender Custom Shop Stevie Ray Vaughan Signature Stratocaster Relic Faded 3-Tone Sunburst CZ544063

If there were a Mount Rushmore of Stratocaster Masters, Stevie Ray Vaughan would be one of the greats enshrined there. Almost single-handedly responsible for the electric blues revival of the 80s and 90s, he used his beloved Strat, to blaze his way to the top of the charts. Only the artisans at the Custom Shop could craft this guitar that Vaughan co-designed with before his untimely passing. Its one of the most revered guitars in the world, and Fender’s proud to make it a permanent addition to the Custom Artist Collection.

SRV heavily modified his Strat to match his energetic, yet controlled, playing style. This guitar comes with a trio of hot, high-output Custom Shop Hand-Wound Texas Special pickups for fiery, authentically Fender tone thats as big as the Lone Star state. As an homage to his personal hero, Jimi Hendrix, SRV used a left-handed vintage-style synchronized tremolo bridge on his guitar, allowing him to work the tremolo arm with his elbowa modification Fender has recreated. The two-piece body is crafted from alder selected for its weight and grain, and its Relic lacquer finish will age and wear in a distinctly personal way, just like the original. The tinted riftsawn maple neck has an Oval C profile thats slightly thinner on the treble side, making it easier to bend those strings into the stratospherea precise recreation of his favorite guitars neck profile.

Other features include 5-way pickup switching, vintage-style wiring, 3-ply Black SRV pickguard, vintage-style tuning machines, rosewood fingerboard, bone nut and wing string tree. Includes deluxe hardshell case, strap and Certificate of Authenticity.
