Fender Custom Shop Stevie Ray Vaughan Signature Stratocaster • Wildwood Guitars



Published
In all of rock and roll history, there are few Strats more iconic than Stevie Ray Vaughan's iconic Number One. It's the guitar that single-handedly brought the blues to the forefront of American musical culture in the eighties. It also helped rocked a million faces across America as Stevie set the arenas ablaze with his fretboard pyrotechnics. Now, the Fender Custom Shop has honored Stevie's legacy by giving the SRV Signature Strat a permanent place in their Artist Collection. We are proud to present the SRV Strat, a guitar that we believe captures the essence of his sound and vibe.

Cosmetically, the SRV signature Strat has all the details right: a nitrocellulose lacquer 3-Tone Sunburst that allows the wood to breathe and resonate, the iconic ""SRV"" engraving in the pickguard, and a left-handed vibrato system that allows you to use your elbow to manipulate pitch.

But, the Custom Shop Stevie Ray Vaughan Signature Stratocaster doesn't just look right: it feels right. The neck has a special oval profile that's just a bit thinner on the treble side, which makes those huge bends easier to reach for. To that end, it also comes equipped with jumbo frets and a flat 12"" radius, which makes bending strings effortless. As a result, the SRV's fretboard is a blues player's dream, and it provides a remarkably expressive playing experience.

The real magic, though, lies within the wires of its three Custom Shop hand-wound Texas Special single-coils. They are as hot as a July afternoon in Texas and as spicy as a jalapeno pepper. Their highs scream, their midrange bites, and their lows are robust. But, they also have a vocal quality that lends itself to dynamic, expressive playing. So, they have a little Jekyll and a little Hyde!

We're proud to showcase this lovely instrument, and we know it will inspire you to reach new heights on your fretboard journey!
