Gift from Charley Wirz of Charley's Guitar Shop, Dallas, in 1984. Alder body, ebony fingerboard, maple neck and Danelectro "lipstick" pickups. Hardtail (non-tremolo), single tone and volume controls.

While I don't know what the guitar in the pics actually is, I have to agree...NOT the same guitar you're talking about. The guitar in the pic is definitely -NOT- a hardtail and those are NOT lipstick pups! Likewise, it's NOT single tone and volume...definitely 3 knobs there.

I did a search and found a few matches of the hook headstock, most were the usual strat copies.
The most likely match reads Bill Lawrence on the headstock, a name well enough respected for SRV use.

I believe it's dubbed "SwampKaster".

I don´t think so... The logo on the headstock is very different... see:

Some Washburn guitars (type N4) used to have about similar hooked headstocks, too - although I see it doesn't read 'Washburn' either on that white mystery guitar.

(Anyway, this is again another piece of evidence that you just can't redesign Leo's headstocks for a Strat or Tele, the originals always look just right and the copies suck...)

Maybe there is a "SR Vaughan" writen on the headstock...
I´ve tried to find more pics of this guitar but it seems to be impossible...
