Full Description
View Full DescriptionThe spectacular Stevie Ray Vaughan
He needs no introduction. As one of the most influential blues guitarists of the '80s and '90s, Stevie Ray Vaughan made a name for himself with his incredible artistry and musicianship. His energy and performances were volcanic, and his guitar playing out of this world. Vaughan's Custom Shop signature is based around his exacting specifications and style, and it was made to bring out the very best in your own playing style - just as it did in his.
A tidal wave of tone
Three is the magic number. The trio of Custom Shop hand-wound Texas Special single coil pickups in this guitar will make your riffs soar. They're hot and fiery – just like Vaughan's playing style. And their higher output means you get the biggest tone you've ever heard. The bridge position pickup is powerful and punchy – perfect for those crunchy, aggressive rhythm chops and sharp lead tones.
The neck pickup is creamy and fat, helping your notes reach their full potential. It'll send waves of energy through your licks and inject them with emotion. Your blues bends will have a resounding voice with tonnes of sustain. Then there's the middle pickup, which is twangy and vibrant, offering the perfect tonal balance between the neck and bridge pickups. You'll be able to handle any style with these powerful single coils at your disposal.
Neck mastery
The best in the business. A professional like Stevie Ray Vaughan commands respect – and the best neck. Made from rift sawn maple, the neck on this sublime guitar has an 'Oval C' profile for a unique playing experience. It's slightly thinner on the treble side, meaning that string bends feel smoother and easier. It's also got a bright resonance for enhanced punchiness and midrange bite, giving those licks even more character. Your improvisation will know no bounds as you skim along the smooth surface of this finely crafted neck.
Flawless fretboard
Rare rosewood. It's one of the most coveted fretboard woods amongst guitarists. Offering a warm tone and exceptional smoothness, this rosewood fretboard has been given the Custom Shop treatment for total playing satisfaction. Smooth, rich, and sustain-friendly, it will let you express yourself on this instrument with total confidence. It looks incredible, too.
Bridging the gap
It's totally unique. The six-saddle American Vintage Synchronised tremolo bridge on the Stevie Ray Vaughan Signature Relic turns the traditional tremolo bridge on its head completely. With the tremolo arm at the top, you'll be able to put vibrato in your riffs using your elbow, freeing your picking hand entirely.
This means you can introduce a totally different style of playing to your repertoire, and reinvigorate your music. The bridge is also exceptionally stable and well-engineered, so you won't have any issues with tuning. Combined with a sturdy SRV pickguard, stunning finish, and exceptional hardware, this special signature is worth its weight in gold wherever you take it.
