Stevie Ray Vaughan's Strat named Charley that had three Danelectro lipstick pickups and was built by Charley Wirz for Stevie was replicated by the Custom Shop with a Fender logo and what I believe is their own lipstick pickups. Was this an official replica that was commisioned by the SRV estate? Does anybody own this Strat here? What's it sound like in your own opinion?

Honestly, I have no idea. I don't own that guitar and I've never played it, but it would definitely be cool to.

Well, here's an idea of what it sounds like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6k6GKHedHw. But that's after effects and amps, so I'm not too sure. Can't really say I've seen too many of them around.

Around 1:40 he's got a mean crunch/compression thing going on. The solo gives a great example of the tone too.

That's a great song, and a great version. The Strat sounds so cool, but I think that Mayer over does it with his effects.
