folks, that is NOT a fender. it's a custom guitar by charlie wirz, who owned charlies guitars in austin (or was it dallas). he was stevie's go to guy for repairs. 3 vintage danelectro pickups. and i'll say it now the guitar that has "stevie ray vaughan" inlaid into the fretboard and the bound body is also not a fender. that guitar is a hamilton and was gifted to stevie by billy gibbons.
@julienpontaut r u sure? the lipstick pickups and the headstock are kinda different to mary kay's. i dont know, but i heard srv sometimes use a charvel guitar. and it was his signature strat charvel. somebody have some infos?
@tripleshotdrummer that's definitely not a Fender, it a guitar made by Charley Wirz...the song life without you is about charley, he always uses the white guitar with them lipstick pups for it :)
At 1.58 He had that sort of "What's is thing in my hands? oh, wait, I remember now. I'm playing a blinding blues solo in front of thousands of people!" look.
@EJRocky Well, it's bigots like you that makes me sick. I love SRV. I prefer his music to pop music, sure, but you can't say that pop isn't, "real music." By definition, music is, "The art or science of combining vocal or instrumental sounds (or both) to produce beauty of form, harmony, and expression of emotion." Pop fits under that category. Sure it may not be pleasing to your ears or my ears, but it's pleasing to others. You don't have to like it, but you can't say that it isn't music.
I made that comment quite a while ago now. I assure you I've grown up since then, and have become a lot more open-minded. Your reply was well worded and I agreed with all of it, and frankly I forgot I had even made the initial comment haha.
jajajaja la primera ves ke lo veo sin su sombreroo de echo me kede igual cuando vi a slash por primera ves sin su sombrero y lentes jajajaja me mie por completo jajaja
I wasn't dissing Stevie by saying that. I'm just saying that drugs and alcohol will make you look different. Stevie was always the man; clean or sober. So I'm sorry if you took any offense to what I said
how about you go blow your dad no one was talking to you you fat jew. we never dissed him you jackass, just saying he looks rough from the road. so go fuck yourself you ignorant asshole
@CCRockit I think it's part of the whole image. The mysterious guitar hero with the hat riding low and the guitar slung lower, wailing away and giving himself to his music.
Being great at something attracts certain types of women ;)
doesn't suprise with how agressively he plays! but damn you've gotta be strong to brake 0.13's or whatever he used... i bet they were brand new at the beginning of that concert aswell :O WOW!
srv was overrated and played with no soul. if you wanna see some soul listen to yngwie, michael angelo batio or buckethead. you guys know nothing about guitar.
malmsteen SUCKS. Michael Angelo Batio.. Well i have nothing to say about him. He plays well but all he pretty much does is play fast. And BUCKETHEAD???!!?!
How the fuck can you Compare a guy with a KFC bucket on his head to the great and late SRV. SRV Always played with great soul. Hes one of the Greatest Guitarists who every played next to Jimi Hendrix and Jeff Garcia.
So maybe you should think again before insulting our ignorance.
im sorry but you have that all backwards, those guys have no soul. all they have is speed, they are the overated ones. have you noticed after the guitar gods like stevie and hendrix etc. started to die, thats when shredders started to come in, also thats when music started to suck. people like steve vai, and joe satriani and malmsteen, they all try too hard. speed is not what makes a guitarist. its patience, and soul, in which both stevie ray vaughan had.
ya behind the head is easy..but behind the head when ur as stoned on coke as he was durin this concert(tomy shannon says so in the book caught in the crossfire)...not easy
i love how stevie takes his hat off goes behind the back and plays perfectly. and then when he's done he just grabs his hat and puts it on gently like he was trying to keep his look and he pulled it off. SRV rulz!!!
Dude, he's still live in our lives..
That's the true music...
It's hard to see the shit toda
