Fender Custom Shop SRV Stevie Ray Vaughan Stratocaster Sunburst

A sympathetic recreation of an especially famous and much loved Fender Strat this Custom Shop SRV encapsulates the sprit and character of the original and combines this with CS premium specifications and craftsmanship. We really like the Special SRV Oval "C" neck profile with 12" radius rosewood fingerboard and custom Black/White/Black pickguard. This Fender Custom Shop SRV Stevie Ray Vaughan Signature Stratocaster has a carefully selected Alder body and rift sawn neck and boasts an iconic Sunburst and Gold hardware liverey. 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. Includes deluxe hardshell case, strap and Certificate of Authenticity.

This is what the team at Fender have to say about the history and design behind this Custom Shop SRV Stevie Ray Vaughan. 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 us before his untimely passing. It’s one of the most revered guitars in the world, and we’re 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.
