Only the artisans at the Custom Shop could craft this guitar that Vaughan co-designed with us before his untimely passing. It’s one of the most revered guitars in the world, and Fender is 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. We included a trio of hot, high-output Custom Shop Hand-Wound Texas Special pickups for fiery, authentically Fender tone that s as big as the Lone Star state. As an homage to his personal hero, Jimi Hendrix (who’s also been known to pick up a Strat) SRV used a left-handed vintage-style synchronized tremolo bridge on his guitar, allowing him to work the tremolo arm with his elbow – a modification we cheerfully recreated. The two-piece body is crafted from alder selected for its weight and grain, and its NOS 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 that’s slightly thinner on the treble side, making it easier to bend those strings into the stratosphere – a precise recreation of his favorite guitar’s neck profile.Other features include 5-way pickup switching, vintage-style wiring, 3-ply Black SRV pickguard, vintage-style tuning machines, bone nut, and round string tree.Features:2-Piece Select Alder Body w/ 3-Color Sunburst Finish25.5 Scale Special SRV Oval C Rift Sawn Maple Neck w/ Rosewood Fingerboard3 Custom Shop Hand-Wound Texas Special Single-Coil Strat PickupsLeft-Handed American Vintage Synchronized Tremolo BridgeVintage-Style TunersIncludes Hardshell Case, Strap, Certificate of Authenticity.
