My Baby!

[Jimi75]

That's her

A natural beauty with some scars...a one and only...

Based on a Jimmie Vaughan Model.

Neck:
I was lucky when working for Fender I could exchange the neck. It is still a Jimmie Vaughan neck, but they made a very short run on figured maple that's why it looks slightly different than the usual factory Jimmi neck.

Aged parts:
Nope, this is no Fender accessory stuff! A guy from Switzerland owned an original 50's strat and believe it or not, he didn't like the natural aging and put on white knobs. Stupid, he? I bought the old original accessories for less than 10USD!

PUs:
Texas Special PU set

Pickguard:
Mint green - Fender mass accessory

Cowgirl:

I have Vargas pin ups on all my Strats. Those stickers are specially made for guitars and it looks very natural not like a sticker.

Scars:
A bottle of beer was thrown against it in a club where they didn't like Blues music, a heavy key set fell on it, it was rubbed on the floor, and all this just happened, so I call it natural relic Many years, many many gigs when I still played the Fender amp shows here in Germany, she forgives me all that and awards me with her beautiful sound.

NICE!! When did Fender first start offering the Jimmie Vaughan model, anyway?

The first necks were stamped 1995, so it must have been around 1995-1996 that they presented the J. Vaughan Strat.

scars

if my guitar carried a scar from a thrown beer bottle, next to it there would be a nice imprint of the side of the throwing parties head.you would almost be able to look at said imprint and recognise the person i would think.
nice aged ax jimi !!
