Dose anyone know where you can see pictures taken by the custom shop boys of Stevie Ray Vaughans first wife/number one strat?
I would like to try and get the same finish on one of my old strats as a winter project.

Not the #1 but the Fender CS tribute SRV one; but it's so perfectly replicated that...

To be honest ive learnt so much from you guys on here and from the forums, and im so great full....the wealth of experience ive gain'd is invaluable, and helped me to no end.

To answer your question....i think if your gonna try and produce a copy (not the the same EXACT finsih as Stevie or the Fender Custom boys)
then you should try to do the best you can...BUT do your own thing/finish to get as close as you can to pay homage to great people like Stevie/FCS.....But the real pics posted would be immense (Hint Hint....please)..........

........i once heard some one say that there's joy in repetition, not imitation.

Devil82 I have to remember what magazine it was, I know I have it home where they have the crew from Fender taking it apart and Jimmy Vaughn is there. It might help you out as there were more than a few good pics. The thing is I have about 1,000 back issues of guitar mags .Alain I have to say it again. You have the best collection of axes out of anyones I have ever scene in a magazine or on the web in the world.lol I mean they are just such tasteful choices. Even the relics which I dont care for give it a kind of balance.lol And that neck on that 40th anniversary is the best neck I have ever seen on a guitar. It would be a tough choice to choose between your collection or Leslie Caron back in 1960.lol Though I was not born till 62 Fanny has always been one of my favorite movies and I always loved Leslie Caron. Alain is that you in the picture that says 40 years ago.
