@sirgerry you're right. I never really took note of how high off the fret his strings were. I have a hard time getting clean barre chord transitions on high action guitars.
making custom shop strats like this of SRV is really really disappointing. I mean the number one replica is a joke. Now they''ve replicated LENNY....so sad. If you wanna replicate a guitar....you should do it yourself, Not make limited numbers and sell em for 1.5+ grand. These guitars are frozen in history and should remain that way.
If u wanna' do it yourself then go ahead, but There is alot of work that goes into one of these and it is as close to the original as anyone can get. When your Idol is SRV, then you dont mind paying the money if you have it. Personally I am building my own. Its just a way I can show my love for SRV. Having a guitar like this helps keep his music alive too. when people see a guitar like this, they ask questions, and it spreads SRV music to new people who are new to music and havent heard of SRV.
If SRV is your idol, then you of all people should know that SRV poured his heart n soul into his music. You want a guitar that took years of playing to get a certain look, then pour your heart soul into making it that way it truely is YOURS. Same thing with lenny or any other famous musician guitar. Buying it takes the fun out of everything. I wouldnt shell out 1.5 grand for this. For an amp, ya. For this, no. I'd rather much do it myself, So that I could honor srv, and not the other way around
if Stevie's your favourite guitarist, and you have saved up the cash, why shouldn't you be free to have a guitar just like his? You are a prize douchebag sir.
@Carthsgtr wow.....really? You're asking a question thats already answered in what i said dude. Its people like you who pay somebody to replace a lightbulb in your home. If you dont know what that means, then dont even bother replying. I dont know even know why i bothered replying to this in the first place.
The neck that is on Lenny (According to several sources) was given to Stevie by Billy Gibbons from ZZtop, along with "Main" the Hamilton Strat with the neck-through-body and STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN engraved and inlaid down the fretboard.
That double trouble drummer is the drummer in a band called "storyville" ..which david grissom was the lead guitarist in. David grissom is awesome, i bid any of you go check him out.
ARC Angels didn't last very long. They only did the one album, but broke up because of the hype and the fact that Doyle Bramhall II at the time had a drug problem.
After that, Chris and Tommy formed Storyville. That too didn't last very long, only doing one album (I think). That was around 96, I think.
Since then, Tommy and Chris have played with many people, including Debbie Davies, and there's a Double Trouble album, with various people playing on different cuts.
its because he spelled vaughan wrong in the tag. You would be suprised to see how many good videos are over looked because of bad tags or wrong spelling.
This isn't Antones in Texas it is being played in Toronto Canada

It is kind of twisted that Fender are selling a replica of a $350 (7x$50) guitar for something like $17,000.

That is like a 64 strat so today id would be worth even more. You can't replicate a vintage strat but i bet they do a good job.
