Stevie Ray Vaughan Signature Stratocaster

Stevie Ray Vaughan Signature Stratocaster

The 'Stevie Ray Vaughan Signature' is an electric guitar made by the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation. This special edition Stratocaster guitar was first offered in 1992 and is Fender's tribute to Stevie Ray Vaughan. It is a reproduction of "Number One" (sometimes referred to as "First Wife"), Stevie Ray Vaughan's favorite guitar. The guitar generally retails for around $1,400.00.

The model includes the black letter-script pick-guard with Vaughan's initials, a polyurethane finish, and a Pau Ferro fretboard. The Brazilian rosewood of Vaughan's guitar was too expensive, and only about fifty SRV Signature models exist with the Brazilian rosewood instead of the pau ferro. While pau ferro does not look like Brazilian rosewood when new, it darkens with age. Some guitarists feel that a polyurethane finish lessens sustain, but it protects the guitar better and lasts longer than the nitrocellulose lacquer that Vaughan's guitar had.
