    Default Stevie Ray Vaughan Signature Stratocaster

    Hey there ..new to these forums..I was just wondering if anyone here has purchased a SRV strat before or if they own one?

    Reason is,I bought one and am Expecting it to come in this week sometime.
    What does it come with? I know it comes with a case ..but does it have a certificate ,some photos etc. or anything like that ?

    Also,it seems people like the texas blues sounds on these boards,but it seems they would rather have a Jimmy Vaughan or Roadhouse strat over the SRV one..is this a quality thing or a price thing? Thanks,and Rock On !:

    I think it has something to do with 1570 for the SRV and 670 for the Jimmie Vaughan.

    That's what's great about The Fret. This is less about spending your life savings on vintage equipment. It's more like Mcgiver. How good can you make a Squire sound using only a paper clip and a roll of toilet paper?

    Stingx: See now your guitar has appreciated. When I quote prices I usually quote the Online dealers like MF. They are usually about average.
    Your mileage may vary!
    The SRV strat has been out there for a long time and there have been other guitars that are much less expensive with Alder and Tex specials.
    This is just one example.

    Don't get me wrong there is a lot to be said about the SRV. The left handed tremelo, and the 12" radius on the neck, might take some getting used to.

    I bought the strat without anyone elses input and i'm glad I did.

    how somebody could substitute the This strat with JV's is beyond me.There's no competition.Texas specials are amazing ..the tex mex's i played on the JV strat in the store sounded no different than the ones on the squire standard ..it may have been the amp i was using ..or it just may have been Me i dono.

    Conclusion is ..I'm happy I bought my SRV strat,and would settle for nothing else for blues tone!

    Welcome Ironbird!

    You got the guitar, and it's the one you wanted. Enjoy it!

    People love the JV Strat for a lot of reasons. Here's some of the most popular ones:

    Alder body (since 2000/2001)
    All USA electronics (except the Tex-Mex pickups which are MIM)
    USA Vintage tremolo with a steel block
    Maple soft V-shape neck
    Wired with the tone control moved from the middle PU to the bridge
    Feels and plays great
    Price

    I don't know if this is still true or not, but the JV Strat used to be made in the US, then shipped to Mexico where it was painted and assembled.

    So, even if the pickups are not to one's liking, that's a cheap upgrade compared to a much more expensive guitar's price.

    Glad you're happy with your purchase but for future reference you may want to keep this old saying in mind because, to me anyway, you come across as a hump.

    Remain silent and people may think you're stupid - open your mouth and you remove all doubt.

    I've played the Jimmie Vaughan signature strat before and was quite impressed. I haven't tried the SRV strat though...I've settled on two American standards.

    If you like the guitar, that is what counts. I've heard some guitarists take a Squier and play through a Peavey Bandit, and it was tonal heaven, and I've heard guitarists play a PRS through a "boo-teek" amp and I wanted to stab my ear drums to put myself out of the misery.

    In other words, if it works for you that is what counts. I've played the tex-mex pups before too (had them on a couple guitars I used to own,,,the original tex mex strats) and I thought they sounded pretty good.
    Guitars: 2003 and 2004 American series strats, Squier Classic Vibe 50's Strat, Squier Deluxe Strat.

    Amps: Line 6 Spider IV 120, Vox AD50VT 212, and Peavey Transtube Bandit 112.

    Pedals: Digitech Bad Monkey.
