Fender introduces Stevie Ray Vaughan

Modern Guitars Magazine reports that on December 12, 2007, 185 limited-edition "Lenny" Stratocasters will be available in the United States from the Guitar Center chain at a price of $17,000 USD each (an additional 50 will also be available for purchase outside the U.S.).

MGM has this snippit about the guitar from Fender: "This emotive addition to the Custom Shop Tribute Series will feature an intricate reproduction of “Lenny” down to the smallest of details—from the customized neck that was a gift from ZZ Top’s Billy F Gibbons to the reflective “SRV” stickers on the body to the battered headstock, the autograph that Stevie himself etched into the neck plate, and even an autograph from legendary baseball great, Mickey Mantle."
