2004 Fender SRV Stevie Ray Vaughn "Number One"
Here is an original 2004 Fender Custom Shop Stevie Ray Vaughn "Number One" Stratocaster with original case and all case candy.
Purchased originally from a collector who simply put it away in his guitar room, and now it is back up for sale. It's basically mint condition with unopened manual and original gold tremolo arm still in the wrapper.
From Fender:
In November 2003, Fender made the announcement that 100 Stevie Ray Vaughn "Number One" replica guitars would be my by John Cruz at their Custom Shop.
A few months before, Fender (with Stevie's brother Jimmy overseeing proceedings) were able to get a hands on look at the original instrument with the goal of painstakingly matching every minor element of the famous guitar using detailed photographs and video.
Sometimes also referred to as the "First Wife," Stevie acquired the guitar at Ray Hennig's Hear of Texas Music in Austin which he allegedly traded for a 1963 Stratocaster. "Number One" consists of a 1963 body fitted with pickups taken from a '59 and 1962 neck which has an unusually thick D profile that clearly suited SRV's unique approach to playing.
Over the years, "Number One" has undergone several changes, a few accidents, and even some abuse which have given it's unique characteristics. The original white pickguard was replaced with a black one which Stevie also glued his initials into, and a left-handed vibrato system inspired by Jimi Hendrix and Otis Rush.
The complete guitars debuted at the winter NAMM show January 15-18, 2004. Although they have serial numbers, they are not serialized 1 through 100 as each guitar John Cruz makes, regardless of model, receives the next serial number in line. With the first numbered as JC044 and the last JC229.
Today these Cruz Stratocasters are some of the most sought after guitars on the market.
Comes with original anvil hard case, certificate, photo of Stevie, red leather gig bag, DVD, and Steve music note strap.
Perfect for the player and collector alike, now this one can be yours.
