The Fender Custom Shop has unveiled the Stevie Ray Vaughan Signature Stratocaster Relic, an aged version of their popular SRV Custom Shop model.
The new model boasts a two-piece alder body with a relic lacquer finish that the company promises will “age and wear in a distinctly personal way, just like the original.” There’s also a tinted riftsawn maple neck with an “Oval C” profile and a rosewood fingerboard with 21 jumbo frets.
As always, pickups are a trio of high-output Custom Shop Hand-Wound Texas Special single coils, and additional features include five-way pickup switching, vintage-style wiring, a left-handed vintage-style synchronized tremolo bridge, three-ply black “SRV” pickguard and vintage-style tuning machines.
