Description
Stevie Ray Vaughan is one of the most revered players of all time, so it's only fitting that Fender Custom Shop pays tribute to the legendary guitarist with this SRV Signature Strat, offering exceptional feel, killer high-output blues tone & undeniable SRV vibes. Vaughan's original Stratocaster was heavily modified & this one follows in the same footsteps of the original. With three Custom Shop Hand-Wound Texas Special pickups, you get the fiery, soulful blues sound that he helped revive in the '80s & '90s. Stevie also used a left-handed tremolo so he could use the trem arm with his elbow, an homage to his personal guitar hero, Jimi Hendrix & that same tremolo system is presented here as well. This gorgeous guitar also features a rift sawn maple neck with an "Oval C" neck profile, which is thinner on the treble side for easy bends. Professionally set up & ready to play straight out of the case.
