COMMENTS
Replaces Tex Mex Stratocaster
Many Jimmie Vaughan Strats made in 2000's had a "MSN" prefix serial number. The "N" usually refers to a '90s Fender, but for this signature it is not true. The exact manufacture date could be find under the pickguard, in the neck pocket or on the neck heel
Shown incorrectly with a 3-ply White pickguard on Fender Catalogs until 2007
FENDER SAID
One of the great names in Texas blues, Jimmie Vaughan has always wielded a Stratocaster with masterful voice and feel. His signature model, the Jimmie Vaughan Tex-Mex Strat, gives you masterful voice and feel, too, with an original-era Stratocaster look and some special hot-rodded Vaughan modifications that make it a fiery performer with a distinctive touch of Tejano vibe.

2007 Jimmi Vaughan Tex Mex Strat. As other Jimmie Vaughan signature guitars, serial MSN7 can't refers to 1997, because of the neck pocket stamp "2007" (Courtesy of Reverb)
1997 Jimmie Vaughan Strat. The belly cut is completely black, hiding a laminated body (Courtesy of Reverb)
A 2006 Jimmie Vaughan Stratocaster. Serial number MSN7 would suggest incorrectly to 1997, but the 2006 Fender 60th anniversary leaves no room for misunderstanding (Courtesy of Cream City Music)
