USA.....where the best is made.

His brother Jimmie on the other hand got the lower end of the deal, hehe, his is made in Mexico.

Most of the popular signatures are made in USA.

I have another question? The Stevie ray vaughan signature is made with a Pau Ferro neck. What neck wood did Stevie him self use? I heard that they used the Brazilian rosewood on the early stevie ray strats but then went over to the Pau Ferro. Why is that? I mean I looked at the warmoth website http://www.warmoth.com/guitar/necks/nec ... _neckwoods
and there it says that ther brazilian rosewood has a warm tone and the Pau Ferro is really bright? They are way different.

I'm not too sure about the information on all that. But I'm under the impression that Stevie's own guitar had Pau Ferro wood. If so, this is what they should've used on the signatures in the first place, just to keep it as accurate as possible. They probably started using Brazilian so they could bump the price up alittle and then it turned out that the availability of Brazilian was slim so they used Pao Ferro from then on.

That's just my guess though. I really have no idea on the actual facts.

Stevie's guitar had pau ferro,I'm not to sure about the different sound.A local guitar maker told me the best wood is cocobolo but no one wants to use it because it is to hard to work. :)

Stevie's number one had a rosewood board.
Why Fender opted for Pau Ferro on the artist model i don't know.

Pau Ferro is nothing but fancy rosewood.

Number 1 probably had a brazilian rosewood fretboard since that was the standard type of wood used for fretboards during that time period (late '50's, eraly '60's).
