    They are custom built by a guy in Austin, TX
    Has a Warmoth Neck with Jumbo Frets, Texas Specials that have been rewound and all wiring mods Done EXACTLY like SRV's strat
    I'm So excited I can't stand it:jd:
    I have a 63 Fender Bandmaster head with a mid 60's Dual Showman cab, a vintage cry baby and tube screamer and I suddenly become Stevie. I need to get a glass case to keep it in when I'm not playing so the kids dont get ahold of it like my autographed Dick Dale strat. :spank: Got a few scratches on that one.

    Chris that is AWESOME!

    That wife must be a "keeper", huh?!:laugh:

    One of my biggest regrets is selling my guitars and equipment in my senior year of high school. My soon-to-be wife "convinced" me.......I should have dumped her right then rather than waiting until four years of marriage later.:Dou:

    P.S........I've got a "keeper" now, too! 24 years and going strong!:TU:

    I don't if it's the same, these are made by a guy named Don Alfano. Cost is $975, each one is hand built by him. Found him on ebay

    Thanks Jim,
    Glad you got the package also, maybe we'll come up by you when it's a balmy +10 or +15.

    Cole, we are only about 15 - 20 min from O'Hare, if we would have known you were there we would have shot off a flare for ya.

    Stay warm everyone

    Sorry Chris for turning your SRV thread into weather.
    Consider it an homage to "Couldn't Stand the Weather"
