Fender Stevie Ray Vaughan Stratocaster (Pao Ferro, with Case)
Maple neck. Pao Ferro fingerboard. 3-Texas Special single coil pickups.
"THIS STRAT KILLS ANY OTHER STRAT OUT THERE!"
Feature:
its set up great from the factory which is odd these days! the left handed tremolo is easier to reach to me for some reason and just fells better if you like gibson necks and that is my main guitars this is the strat for you it has a great felling big neck on it but not for beginners.
Quality:
everything is great from the factory on this guitar its a road dog im sure of it im starting to use it alot ive just had it a couple of weeks i wonder about the tuning pegs on it but there the sme thing they used in the 50s and 60s and most of those guitars still have the same kind on them i dont know if there original but we will see!
Value:
its decent priced for what you are gonna get its not just another strat now way theres something special about a srv model for sure ive only played one other signature model a jimmy vaughn but it kills all the regular strats and the latest 50th anniv. got one of those and it wil now be kept in the case! because i will be playing the srv and my les paul and firebird
Desirability:
geat paint and finish this is a sexy instrument
Sound:
this guitar rocks it can sound as thin as any strat ever then at 7 on the volume it totally changes into this hard hitting thick sound and if you can turn it up to 10 it changes again! its awesome!
Support:
i had a hard time getting a pickguard for it but if you order one for a 57 or 58 reissue you can still get an 8 hole everything else is 11hole stephens music in calhoun ga got mine in a reasonable amount of time and its a fender factory picguard i just hated waiting and trying not to play it with the srv pickguard!
Overall:
i plan on a long life with my new srv strat and hope to get to play some of his best songs with my band

"If you want that Twang with the low end Growl...this is it!"
After this guitar is properly set up (intonation, action, etc.) It plays beautifully. I switched strings to a 9-46 since I can't bend like Stevie yet. Hooked up to a '65 Twin Reverb preset on a '01 Fender Cyber Twin and slightly overdriven, it makes that classic woody blues tone that makes you tingle!
"Amazing Guitar, Great Sound, But play it before you buy it........"
Feature:
The left handed bridge w/tremlo is a useful set-up if picking/strumming with the bar in hand is your cup of tea. Texas Special Pickups: They make a Strat sound even Strattier! Stevie and Mark Knopfler both used these.
Quality:
I can't comment to athortatively because I only spent an hour with this guitar But it appears to be very well made. excellent fit and finish.
Value:
I didn't buy this guitar. But if the large "C" neck, the Texas Specials, and the upside down bridge is what your looking for look no further. I chose instead to put the Texas Specials in my '57 reissue.
Desirability:
The only part of this guitar I'm not gaga over is the neck. If I was a rich man I'd buy it and swap the neck ou for a "V" or a small "C" like the Knopfler Strat.
Sound:
If the Texas Blues

"Do Research and Play this instrument before purchasing. This isn't something for everyone... personally.. this guitar is a 10 a"
Feature:
It Came with a nice Vintage Case, and Some cleaning stuff... Your basic Features and accessories when you purchase a guitar in this price range.
Quality:
I gave quality a 9 online because i was alittle ticked that they made such an unbelievable sounding guitar and it was supposed to be the SRV replica, meanwhile there's all gold hardware? They should of kept it chrome like his real one and wow this would of been 10 across the board.
Value:
Quality and craftsmanship of this guitar is simply wonderful. 1399$ is resonable for this.
Sound:
Like many people say, This guitar isn't for everyone. The neck is fat and you need to play it hard and mean like Stevie. If you are not really into stevie ray then you probley wouldn't like it. I played it in the store for 3 hours before i decided to purchase. I played it along with another american 1000$ strat, and by far this strat completely destroyed. Only reason i didn't give it a 10 was because, Stevie's original guitar is a 10 and this is just a replica.
Ease of Use:
I first played a few SRV riffs with the 1000$ american strat, then switched over to this guitar and WOW, you will notice the immediate replication of his sound. Listen to SRV track "LENNY" and this is the sound you can expect.
Support:
Right now it's 10... i haven't had any reason to deal with anyone.
Overall:
This guitar has a beautiful sound. and i also play Pink Floyd stuff on it and it even has a great gilmour sound. This guitar is fantastic.

"Set it up SRV style and it will sound great !"
The first thing I have notice when I bought it was that it wasn't set up SRV style (virato, strings gauge and intonation).
When it's done .. it will sound great.
You have to play with it more then a few minutes to realize that it's not the typical,
ordinary guitar.
I really like my SRV fender guitar.
