the only thing that brings it authenticity to question for me is at 3:41 there appears to be no hole from the original righty tremolo this guitar had also in november 2003 100 of replicas of SRV's number 1 made
I wont talk crap to anyone I dont know, but it sure doesnt look like number #1 to me. Dan Erlewine did an article where he got to check all the specs of Stevies guitar and talk with Rene Martinez, Stevies good friend and guitar tech. The close up pics in that article of #1 show distinct differences than this guitar, most notably the lettering. Just my observation.
Some of the people posting here are major-league clowns. Some simple rudimentary research can verify that this is indeed SRV's guitar. I doubt Jimmie Vaughan could be easily fooled about that... Gotta love the righteous indignation though. People get so outraged, its actually kinda funny! lol
you guys are mental. fender made this video. FENDER GUITARS, not some amateur. this IS THE actual guitar. THE GRAIL. as for any of you that doubt because of something as stupid as the decals on the pickguard, you should study more. RENE MARTINEZ, stevie's tech openly explains that the tonight show graphics dept MADE those letters on site for stevie the night he was to play on the show. as for the hardware color and type, have you ever seen stevie play? very aggressive. parts get broken
TYPE IN STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN 1990 AND LOOK AT THE CLIP FROM THE JOHNNY CARSON SHOW AND YOU WILL SEE THE PICK GUARD CLEARLY.IT HAS THE EXACT PICKGUARD AND LETTERING ON IT IN THIS VIDEO.I WOULD HAVE HAD DOUBTS TO EXEPT FOR THE FACT THAT JIMMY VAUGHAN IS IN THIS VIDEO SO I CHECKED IT OUT.THIS IS #1 WITHOUT A DOUBT!!!!
This the real #1...Is Jimmy Vaughan in on some kind of a hoax or participating in a video with a copy of his brothers most treasured guitar???I THINK NOT
@mrkerfluffle Are you joking? Please watch any video dated 1990 before he died and notice that this guitar was equipped with both gold hardware and a custom made pickguard with initials engraved. Please tell me where I ever stated this was my video. Don't deny the PROOF.
No, this is definitely not the real guitar in the video - yes, the still photos are real - there is a missing element here and anyone who has done serious study of the guitar will see it immediately at 4:05 in the video. I won't elaborate any further given that I despise people who propagate lies and there is no argument - this is not SRV's guitar, period.
#1 was a right-handed model with left-handed tremolo. When SRV swapped the original tremolo for the left-handed unit it left a visible hole on the bottom (input jack side) of the tremolo where the right-handed trem arm used to screw in. He then had to hack away wood from the top side tremolo routing to make room for the left-handed trem arm. It is CLEARLY visible in any close photos #1 and would be the same if you put a left-handed tremolo on any right-handed tremolo-equipped Strat.
@utahprof Really, you "despise" people who propagate lies? What do you think of internet nincompoops who shoot their mouths off and accuse others without doing their homework?
@utahprof That oversight by whoever proposed this guitar as the real #1 is preposterous... a glaring and blatant mistake. My guess is that it's a relic'ed Fender SRV "reissue".
@utahprof If you're referring to the "SRV" lettering on the pickguard, you are wholly incorrect. SRV changed the pickguard at a point before he passed, and those letter decals are correct up to the date of his passing. If you are referring to something else, please explain and share, otherwise your claims will go as nothing more than a tall tale.
I think it could be a proto-type they were showing Jimmy. The bridge looks fairly new, there is a lot of gold on it and all guitar players know that comes off really fast, and in another video in an actual interview SRV shows Mickey Mantle's signature on THIS GUITAR as well as Lenny.
Well, at first, I thought this video was a fake because in 1990 ET News said that SRV was buried with his guitar. Then I thought that they were told to do that so no one would get there hands on it. Or I guess they could've buried him with a different guitar, and if this is just a replica, they got it EXACLY right. The scratches are all the same (on the front anyway). On the back there is supposed to be SRV's signiture, and the condition on the back was worse on SRV's. PRETTY CLOSE THOUGH!
That's definitely Jimmie Vaughan towards the end of the video. But what's confusing to me is why does that guitar have the script-font "SRV" letters on it? Stevie NEVER had those. Go ahead, show me ONE pic with him and #1 with that font. The script-style letters were added at the beginning of the reproduction process because they didn't have the same font available. After that, they just stuck with the script font.
My guess is, Jimmie Vaughan is inspecting Fender's reproduction.
We have read the comments on this video. We feel that most of them are incorrect. We got our facts strait. This is the real number one. No replica. Have played it myself in 1984 in Houston. The guitar is restored to stock config. The strings Stevie played at Alpine Wally is 0.58 - 0.11 and those are still on the guitar. He played an long time with the neck from red. When the stock neck got worn out. Red then got an new one left handed at 1987. SRV wore then recovered back to the stock neck.
SRV still is owned by the family and is stored in an security valve. For those who are curious how SRV wore as an guitar. It had an quite deep low range tune. He played 1978 to 1983 most of the time 0,12 - 0,13 on the high E's And sometimes up to 0,18 on the E's. Charley Wirz persuaded him to go 0,11 instead to save his fingers. So 1984 > he started to use thinner strings. You can validate that by pictures vids. If you wonder something contact me via PM
I'm curious about the missing Mickey mantle signature too in this other video "Stevie Ray Vaughan 1985 Lifetime Show Canada TV SRV Interview" you can clearly see it around the 5 minute mark.....
@dpordy99 ya right lets see some paper work, where and who did you buy it from? I have the real #1 found it along the road walkin down by the swamp one day, the swamp lady came to me and said its your play it well but remember you cant sell it. you can only bring it back to me b4 you die.
it's a nice relic but it's not the real one and that pickguard is alittle to prestine for that guitar but other than that nice job to who ever reliced that
IT'S REAL!! Rene Martinez replaced the pick guard due to wear shorly before Stevies death. That's why it looks shiny and new. And over the years he had many different SRV letter on the pick guard so that means nothing. The last pictures of him playing the guitar show those exact letters. That's also the original neck that was put back on the guitar by Rene after Stevie's death. The origanal neck was not the one that was broken when lights fell on it. Plus Jimmy Vaughan is right there.
Well first off, this video/song/guitar is also claimed by another person on youtube. So one of you two stole this from each other. 2nd, Wikipedia SRV's Guitars states that #1 was broke 3 weeks before SRV's death and after his death, it was put back together and given to Jimmie. 3rd, this is not real and you really should change the title. How would you like it if I slapped your mother in the face, or your wife for that matter? It is disrespectful and wrong.
You are assholes! Even if it is the real thing which its NOT your not gonna examine it like that! You need to give the man some respect and change the name of your goddamned video! BTW the real one is in fort knox with all his gear and that is where its gonna stay!!!
@TheGibsonman59 those letters on the pick guard are authentic. stevie used them in place of the truck stop style reflective ones in late 89 and into 1990. so how about you do some research bro. hence the reason that fender put them on the replica stevie signature strat.

@TheGibsonman59 It's a good thing we have an expert like you around. At 5:53 do you see the guy on the right? That's Jimmy Vaughan. He has Stevie's guitar exactly as it was when he played it for the last time. That is the real number one. I can show you pics of the guitar in several different versions since Rene Martinez was always replacing broken parts Next time do some research so you don't sound stupid.
@fargenacle Dude, i rlzd that along time ago . . . ur like waaaayyy late on getting back. I ddt recognize jim at first, bec i've alw seen vids where he was younger, so i was alil off on recognizing him.
@TheGibsonman59 I know that it's been over three months ago since you made this statement, but want to respond nonetheless. Don't be so fast on the draw with comments and name calling. The strat shown in the video is indeed Stevie Ray's Number One.
@TheGibsonman59 This is the real guitar. This is the video that fender used to document the guitar for their reissue srv strat. And about the lettering, SRV used this lettering style late in his career. The lettering on this was designed for his last Saturday night live performance. So, maybe your the dumbass!!!!
@TheGibsonman59 See, I love this comment because of the irony.... If you knew half as much about SRV as you think you know, you would realise that the lettering on the guitar was changed shortly before his death. EPIC FAIL! lol
@AndersonWigwam tyvm. you've got your guitar shit down, my friend. i'm so happy to know that number one isn't living a life behind glass at our local hard rock cafe. and could somebody please give rene a medal?
the pick ups are wrong, the srv is wrong, and the whammy is a bit unused. nicely weathered tho. someone put a lot of effort into this, you know what...i feel totally lame just discussing the validity of a guitar. way too much time on my hands, i guess. lol.
All I can say is that if its not real, its a damn fine fake. But seeing as how at 5:46 to 5:56, that would appear to be Jimmie Vaughan himself hunched over the table..Im going to go on and say its the real deal..
THIS IS THE REAL ONE. Do your homework. I have the guitarplayer mag from Jan '04 and it clearly shows this is real. In addition, the guy shown at 4:42 is Fender VP of Marketing, Richard MacDonald. Also at 4:54, the guy is Fender Custom shop Manager Mike Eldred. These guys also in appear in photos of the magazine article. Oh wait, I guess they are all in on the hoax also. Knuckleheads.
@jimbo101ish it may or may not be. i know for a fact that jimmie vaughn lives here in austin. and i dont think he would give up his brothers most prized guitar.

@BIGBADBOB99 Due to excessive wear, In 1989 the neck from "scotch" was moved to "Number One" and in 1990, it was "scotch's" neck that was broken at a show in Holmdell, New Jersey, when a piece of stage equipment fell on several of Stevie's guitars. Rene eventually ordered a replacement neck from Fender and received a copy of the 1962 neck. Number One is currently in possession of Jimmie Vaughan. (After Stevie's death, Rene Martinez put the original neck back on Number One.)
This is NOT the real #1!! Jimmie Vaughan has it along with his brothers other music instruments locked away!! All these guitars you see are replicas plain and simple!
a friend of mine who works for fender said they were at the hotel room with Jimie on hand as they dismantled the guitar and took specs to recreate the "old" damage an all and that the guitar you are seeing is authentic. This clip is from thte archive of fender
So who si with me. If they got #1 in there possesion for a night they would be up all night playing it. Not staring at it threw a glass case. I think SRV, would want it played.
This is Stevies guitar. if you think the letters are not the same, he had the old truck stop lettering replaced before a show a "Dave Letterman" show in 1989. these letters would also appear on the SRV signature strats. also look up the Guitar World issue on "50 years of strats". there is a nice article about this video as fender was preparing to go into production on the SRV Replica strat. only 100 of these guitars were made at a price of 10,000.00 a piece
i didnt think this was real until i seen jimmy vaughn sittin there looking at the guitar too.its got to be real.Jimmy is not gonna come down and look at just any piece of shit,hes there with his brothers guitar.
you can't replicate that kind of age and wear; not even fender's custom shop. that is the real #1. any one who thinks otherwise needs to read some of the interviews his guitar tech gave about that guitar. besides, Jimmie Vaughan is sitting right there in the room with the fender guys. he wouldn't let that guitar out of his sight
so god damn funny...I was at a bluegrass festival over the 4th.....some kid had #1, as well.....his was so worked on you could tell it was fake...I like you fuckers that claim to have #1...or any S.R.V. guitar, for that matter....keep on looking at pictures and maybe someday, you might actually replicate one...good luck to you
@willwink99 Check this vid out man search "SRV collins shuffle 1990"..... there is a vid about 2 months before SRV passed the "SRV" on the horn is gone and that's the correct handle and bridge.
This is from when Fender Custom Shop messured the original guitar up to make the replica. No:1 is now fit back together with the original neck again, the one that got split thrown into a wall. And NO! It's NOT buried with Stevie... Jimmie owns that guitar now.
In 89-90 Stevies guitar went through some changes. A new layout of the SRV letters on the guitar, made up for Austin City Limit (if i recall it right!?) The neck was switched to the neck original belonged to Red, and the guitar got them ugly tuners after that. Oh, and the singleply fat pickguard aswell. This is THE GUITAR folks!!
@collin702 Jimmie Vaughan brought the real one out in '03 so that the Fender Custom Shop could copy it and make a limited edition replica. This IS the actual Number One. I remember reading about it when it happened and being surprised, because I had assumed it had been with him in the helicopter and was no longer around, or had been buried with him.
there is no way in hell that you can replicate the age and use that this strat has, it is stevies strat no matter what,so to all you haters out there go buggar off.
@flamischpeti Are you serious? 5:57 is the guitar, taken apart, with the pickguard and electronics lying upside down on the body, not a "burned down guitar."
Each time I am wondering- what fingers do you need to do such bendings with 0,13 E string:) I have a 79 strat, a because of its vintage radius even a 0,11 is a thing to deliver:)
i cant belive people in the background are tellig him to "shut the fuck up" why would they go c him if they didnt like him personnaly i cant undertsand how any human being would not think SRV is amazing.
I think they were saying that to eachother in the audience so as to be able to hear the magic... imagine, people sophisticated and all in carnigie hall yelling fuck... that is the magic of Vaughan.
I don't think the point of this guitar, is to "MAKE YOU SOUND BETTER" it's more of a tribute to the baddest guitar player in the world. It is an awesome instrument, that SRV introduced to the world. I really didn't like the part where the guy is holding a pen by SRV guitar. I got real uncomfortable watching him wave that stupid pen around that sacred guitar. Idiot.
I don't know what's the big fuss about the so-called "vintage" guitar phenomenon. If you're good you will sound good. I you're bad you will sound bad whether you have a "vintage" guitar or not. They go as far as making replicas of this guitar with all the damage and paint peeling off ect...Common. If you think you're going to sound better with one of these you're only fooling yourself. You develope your own style and tone. Do you have SRV hands ? No. Keep practicing.
That is good ol' Number 1. Stevie had those letters added by the Tonight Show prop department for his 1990 appearance. If you watch the Youtube video, they are clearly visible on the guitar. Great to see that Jimmie has it and it looks great!
It's the real guitar ya'll. Some of ya'll are getting confused with the stickers from 1989. Stevie changed em'. Plus, it's just flat out the real Number 1....inside info. Truth. Peace!
I think its stevie's guitar. I've read that Fender Custom shop included a DVD of the night they inspected the original #1 with the replicas of the guitar.
In 1988, the original neck from Number 1 was changed due to problems of refretting. Rene Martinez had a extra neck from Red that was then put on Number 1. That neck was on there until 1990. A piece of Staging fell on his guitars the neck was broken. Rene quickly ordered a replacement neck from fender. Stevie was away from Number 1 for one show. Look at the fiddlers green show from 1990 on here and you'll notice Number 1 with the new stickers, or the tonight show appearance.
you're the same person who asked, WHAT SONG IS HE PLAYING. If you dont know this song, then you obviously dont know what the hell you're talking about period. And then to remark about the guitar....hahaha smart move man
Everyone do yourself a favor and have your volume up fairly loud at 3:20 to hear what one particularly distraught gentleman in the audience wants the loud crowd to do.
He wasn't buried with Number 1...at all...why do people think that? His brother Jimmie has it put away...get the facts right people....if that was the case, someone would have stolen it from his grave by now...don't you think?
The only thing that I didn't see that would lead me to believe that this was not the real thing was the little plastic pieces that SRV put in the saddles to keep the strings from breaking.
Now on another note, imagine how strong SRV's hands must've been to be able to bend .012 gauge strings as far as he did.
That's the most beautiful guitar i've ever seen. In order to get the tone he had, you have to beat the hell outa your strat. That's the only way to do it just. SRV rocks!
It is funny when the drunk idiots are screaming through this delicate song-funny when the guy says "Shut the fuck up!"...I'm a musician and I go to concerts to hear the music and allow it to move me...it is beyond me why anybody would rob themselves of the true enjoyment of music to be drunk instead.I mean really...do your drinking in a bar-when you go to a concert,just listen and applaud when it is over.

@TheGibsonman59 those letters on the pick guard are authentic. stevie used them in place of the truck stop style reflective ones in late 89 and into 1990. so how about you do some research bro. hence the reason that fender put them on the replica stevie signature strat.

@TheGibsonman59 It's a good thing we have an expert like you around. At 5:53 do you see the guy on the right? That's Jimmy Vaughan. He has Stevie's guitar exactly as it was when he played it for the last time. That is the real number one. I can show you pics of the guitar in several different versions since Rene Martinez was always replacing broken parts Next time do some research so you don't sound stupid.

@TheGibsonman59 This is the real guitar. This is the video that fender used to document the guitar for their reissue srv strat. And about the lettering, SRV used this lettering style late in his career. The lettering on this was designed for his last Saturday night live performance. So, maybe your the dumbass!!!!

@BIGBADBOB99 Due to excessive wear, In 1989 the neck from "scotch" was moved to "Number One" and in 1990, it was "scotch's" neck that was broken at a show in Holmdell, New Jersey, when a piece of stage equipment fell on several of Stevie's guitars. Rene eventually ordered a replacement neck from Fender and received a copy of the 1962 neck. Number One is currently in possession of Jimmie Vaughan. (After Stevie's death, Rene Martinez put the original neck back on Number One.)

This is Stevies guitar. if you think the letters are not the same, he had the old truck stop lettering replaced before a show a "Dave Letterman" show in 1989. these letters would also appear on the SRV signature strats. also look up the Guitar World issue on "50 years of strats". there is a nice article about this video as fender was preparing to go into production on the SRV Replica strat. only 100 of these guitars were made at a price of 10,000.00 a piece

In 89-90 Stevies guitar went through some changes. A new layout of the SRV letters on the guitar, made up for Austin City Limit (if i recall it right!?) The neck was switched to the neck original belonged to Red, and the guitar got them ugly tuners after that. Oh, and the singleply fat pickguard aswell. This is THE GUITAR folks!!

@collin702 Jimmie Vaughan brought the real one out in '03 so that the Fender Custom Shop could copy it and make a limited edition replica. This IS the actual Number One. I remember reading about it when it happened and being surprised, because I had assumed it had been with him in the helicopter and was no longer around, or had been buried with him.

I don't think the point of this guitar, is to "MAKE YOU SOUND BETTER" it's more of a tribute to the baddest guitar player in the world. It is an awesome instrument, that SRV introduced to the world. I really didn't like the part where the guy is holding a pen by SRV guitar. I got real uncomfortable watching him wave that stupid pen around that sacred guitar. Idiot.

I don't know what's the big fuss about the so-called "vintage" guitar phenomenon. If you're good you will sound good. I you're bad you will sound bad whether you have a "vintage" guitar or not. They go as far as making replicas of this guitar with all the damage and paint peeling off ect...Common. If you think you're going to sound better with one of these you're only fooling yourself. You develope your own style and tone. Do you have SRV hands ? No. Keep practicing.

In 1988, the original neck from Number 1 was changed due to problems of refretting. Rene Martinez had a extra neck from Red that was then put on Number 1. That neck was on there until 1990. A piece of Staging fell on his guitars the neck was broken. Rene quickly ordered a replacement neck from fender. Stevie was away from Number 1 for one show. Look at the fiddlers green show from 1990 on here and you'll notice Number 1 with the new stickers, or the tonight show appearance.

The only thing that I didn't see that would lead me to believe that this was not the real thing was the little plastic pieces that SRV put in the saddles to keep the strings from breaking.
