SRV Steve Ray

Another classic Stratocaster tone is that of Stevie Ray Vaughan that although he really had 59 pickups in his nº 1 (like the vintage 57-62) , his sound has been associated to the overwound sets like the “Texas Specials” or my SRV, although that aggressiveness really was in his hands. The SRV set has significant changes compared to the other Vintage sets. It is based on the Vintage 68 but overwound, which will get a smooth, powerful and punchy blues sound. Its three pickups are wound with copper wire 42 AWG plain enamel, and are equipped with staggered Alnico V magnets and black Forbon coil for the upper and lower parts. With this set you can get a wide range of sounds, from slow blues to rock & roll tone with punch and character, always with the Strat characteristic color.
