Fender Stevie Ray Vaughan Signature Stratocaster Relic, Faded 3-Color Sunburst

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 Fender has now made it a permanent addition to the Custom Artist Collection.

The Fender Stevie Ray Vaughan Signature Stratocaster Relic is a heavily modified version of Strat to match his energetic, yet controlled, playing style. 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 rift sawn 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.

Included is 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, SRV used a left-handed vintage-style synchronized tremolo bridge on his guitar, allowing him to work the tremolo arm with his elbow. Other features include five-way switching, vintage-style wiring, three-ply Black SRV pickguard, vintage-style tuning machines, bone nut and wing string tree.
