When you talk about guitar, you have to talk about Stratocasters. When you talk about Stratocasters, you have to talk about the blues. When you talk about the blues, you have to talk about Stevie Ray Vaughn. His Artist Strat is based on his famous "Number One" Strat and is loaded with Texas Special pickups, an early-'60s oval-shape neck with pau ferro fingerboard and jumbo frets, gold-plated hardware like the reverse vintage-style tremolo bridge, and of course the signature pickguard. There is no mistaking it. This is A-to-Z SRV.
Founded by Leo Fender in 1938 as Fender's Radio Service, what is now the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation began making electric guitars and amplifiers in 1945. The rest, as they say, is history. Creator of the world's first mass-produced, and by far most popular, solid-bodied electric, Fender is now the world's leading guitar manufacturer.
Developed hand-in-hand with some of the biggest artists of yesterday and today, the Fender Artist Series is a collaborative line of signature models incorporating hand-selected tonewoods and custom appointments and specs, voiced to specific tones and playing styles by our master builders and the artists themselves. Stratocasters, Telecasters, Jaguars, Jazzmasters, and Jazz, Precision, and Jaguar basses take on new life with the help of some of music's most revered icons.
