SRV # 1 guitar pix tribute to replicate a relic

FLICKOFLASH · 02-26-2009, 12:03 AM

I 'm wanting to relic a guitar as close as possible as i can to the fabled SRV relic. I really need some straight on shots of front & back plus as many clear shots we can find .

Skynyrdpicker · 02-26-2009, 12:07 AM

I'm sure you've seen SRV Guitar.com but there's downloadable templates, I believe, of the wear on the guitar.

Here's a replica, I think

Awesome shot

FLICKOFLASH · 02-26-2009, 12:14 AM

yes I have seen the templates but have only seen one guy get the reproductions right .Fender wasn't even close plus who has 25K to spare

FLICKOFLASH · 02-26-2009, 12:16 AM

Plus does anyone make replacement necks with radiused fingerboards ( bottoms not slab boards)

FLICKOFLASH · 02-26-2009, 12:18 AM

What parts were changed out to gold besides the tremolo ?

He changed out the output jack to gold.

Flick,

i believe Warmoth will make you any kind of neck you want. i used to get their one offs and 2nds for my projects...you can save alot of money going with one of those. i bought a 2nd that was gibson scale 22 frets...yet fit a strat body with no modification. great neck.

Guitar Player magazine wrote a bio on Stevie Ray a couple of years ago that had TONS of gear specific info. You might want to track down a copy.

captcoolaid · 02-26-2009, 11:14 AM

looking forward to seeing your guitar flick

***b-squared*** · 02-26-2009, 11:20 AM

I believe on the original neck Cesar also put gold tuners on it. He apparently had a bag of loose gold parts, and Steve really liked them.

Probably repair work that was done when the headstock was snapped off.

FLICKOFLASH · 03-01-2009, 11:50 AM

I was thinking the same but the repair looks invisable

I played on one of the "Lenny" copy's at last years London guitar show, nothing to write home about, but then I'm not that much into Stevie. personally i think it looks as ugly as sin. his #1 is much more appealing in my view.

TeleDog · 03-01-2009, 01:07 PM

I have the SRV strat, very nice looking guitar, cool tone, but not all that "different" from your normal American strat if you know what I mean.

I say this, and I'm a HUGE SRV fan, but the guitar is not the best fender I've seen or the one with the greatest playability. So maybe creating an EXACT replica of No. 1 would be a good idea, maybe that's gonna be a very different instrument.

FLICKOFLASH · 03-01-2009, 01:45 PM

Well Fender is clueless using a poly finish ,Pau fero fingerboard & a Oval shaped neck. From the vid the neck looks huge fat to me. Fenders 25K tribute didnt look so swell either to me.

@ 2:23 the picking wear is that worn in like 1/4" & the 2 lines that run up along that between the Pickguard & horn are they gouges or the wood's grain ?

Nigel Tufnel's tech · 03-01-2009, 01:58 PM

It's the wood grain.

Skynyrdpicker · 03-01-2009, 02:01 PM

A String, that replica is great! I don't think there's a guitar out there cooler than Stevie's old Strat, and you did a hell of a job.

A string bounce · 03-02-2009, 04:36 PM

Cheers Skynyrdpicker' it took some time, but at the end of the day it was worth it to me.
