The Best Fender Has to Offer
A Proper Tribute to a Proper Fender Player. I have always wanted to own this guitar the second i saw it. i played it and it is the perfect guitar for me. but the only thing i would change would be the strings. when i played it with the factory strings, it sounded thin. but when i played with heavy strings, i had the SRV Sound down to a t.This is by far my favorite fender.

I will never buy another one!
The 1994 SRV Strat I had was so good, I traded it for a new one. This 2016 one has a bridge too wide for the neck. So after playing it for a few hours, the bottom string won't stay on the fret board. You cannot play it. and the luthier can't fix it! And Fender says its just fine! Well, FENDER, its under warranty and they better replace it or fix it or FENDER just soiled their BRAND. I'll be back after I talk to FENDER myself and advise how they handled such a disaster. Lets hope they live up to their obligations.

Absolutely beautiful guitar and looked flawless.... but center pickup was not working and the selector switch was very loose. I just had to send it back. Musicians Friend support was awesome and understanding why I wanted to just send it back. I wish this had worked out as I had gotten a great deal on this.

Great Stevie tone right out of the box, but if you install 12 gauge strings the tone is amazing. Beautiful guitar, workmanship is as incredible and detailed as the custom shop version.
SRV WOULD BE PROUD
