Storia della SRV Stratocaster e della Number One
Ringrazio Van Kery (della Van Kery Blues Band) per le foto di questa bellissima e particolarissima SRV del 1992. Il seriale "SE9", che potrebbe far pensare alle chitarre del 1989-1990, sta in realtà per "Signature Edition"; la data sul manico è 1992, il primo anno della produzione della signature di Stevie Ray Vaughan. Nella tasca del manico si vede la presenza di toolin' holes, assenti nelle versioni più recenti, e il timbro "SRV", non sempre presente. Il battipenna è stato scavato, da uno dei proprietari, all'altezza del truss rod, per facilitarne l'accesso. Colpisce pure il timbro R/W sul manico che potrebbe significare "rosewood" facendo pensare al palissandro brasiliano, riciclato sulle prime versioni della SRV e preso dai manici della versione Custom mai andata in produzione a causa della morte del chitarrista texano. Tuttavia, osservando la tastiera, non sembra questo legno, ma piuttosto pau ferro. Potrebbe essere solo il manico avanzato dai primi lotti, mai andati in produzione quando il progetto SRV venne messo da parte, e poi ripreso nel 1992? La Fender a volte è un mistero... In ogni caso questa chitarra è davvero un pezzo di storia!
