Mike, thanks for your honesty, your humility, your sense of humor, and the great entertainment!! My wife wanted to buy me an SRV and I told her no thanks - that's a lot of money to spend on a guitar for a guy that can't play very well LOL. She did buy me a Jimmy Vaughan which sadly I got rid of. Funny, my favorite Stevie Ray song is Little Wing and my favorite Hendrix song is Little Wing
I did play a used one. The tone was killer, but the neck finish was very sticky and thick. My local Guitar Center has a Custom Shop version I may try out. Kudos for tackling some tough tunes from SRV. Lenny and his take on Little Wing are not easy songs. I have my own takes way back in my YT channel lol.
You’re right about those necks. I borrowed my buddy’s (04 I think) for a song at a gig and I’ve got super sweaty hands. I’m glad I didn’t have to play a second song. I’d sand that down if it were mine though.
Scuttle Buttin's has to be my favorite SRV song...his riffing in that song is insane and it makes me smile every time I hear it. Also one of the few instances I am aware of that a Strat player uses the middle position
8:04 just wanted to correct you here, the David Bowie album, “Let’s Dance” featured SRV on lead guitar. Worth checking out! That guitar sounds great and you have excellent tone!
That's right, somehow I always forget that even though his work is so great on that song. Crazy to have two of the most legendary Strat players on that track.
@@samouellette5130 you're right, I was just hearing that solo from the title track in my head. Incredible work by both SRV and Nile throughout that album
i just made a srv-ish partscaster. the body is a starcaster beginner guitar with the 3 color burst, preloaded pickguard with texas specials, fender backplate, warmoth roasted maple neck with rosewood fretboard.
I’m getting a Squier Classic Vibe 60s and modding it to make it look like SRV’s First Wife (just without the relicing). So getting gold Fender tuners with pearl buttons, a gold lefty Gotoh vintage style tremolo, gold jack plate/strap buttons/neckplate, black pickguard, and reproduction stickers of the “SRV” and “Custom” stickers. Maybe I’ll update the pickups later on. Scariest part will be drilling to make the lefty tremolo fit. 🫣
One of the greatest songs he did is “Life by the drop” that is my favorite then it’s Texas Flood but life by the drop brought me to tears it has so much feeling in it just really moved me
Full story on the blues jam please… we all been there… the fish out of water feeling when your in a room trying to find the key and can’t find a pocket even if it’s stitched to your pants. Guess what… ya love to fight another day. You get better that way!
Favorite SRV songs (yes there’s more than one bc you can’t just have one favorite Stevie song) are love struck baby, collins shuffle (Montreux 82’) couldn’t stand the weather, rude mood, scuttle buttin, say what, and finally, all your love I miss lovin (live 80’)
My Google Pixel identified "Pride and Joy" and "Lenny" instantly - isn't it the best recognition that you can possibly dream of? 😅 Great job on channeling your inner SRV, Mikey 😎
Hi Mike, I love your videos, guitar playing, passion for guitars and broad in depth knowledge. What's your blues jam story? I ask because I'm wrestling with the idea of getting up there too. I'm 75 so I'd better do it soon or just forget it. I even just bought a Squier 40th Anniversary Strat to use to avoid banging up my Eric Johnson.
That SRV signature seems fantastic, haven't had a chance to put my hands on one yet. (You handled those riffs of his well!) But I just got an Ultra Strat, burst, with a rosewood fretboard, and I am completely enchanted with it. (Usually practice acoustic every other day, but my acoustic hasn't been out of its case since I got my Ultra Strat. 😂) Side note: Anyone who can actually choose a "favorite" SRV song has probably not listened to his full catalog yet. Far too many fantastic songs to pick just one as a fav! )
Yes, I'm an SRV fan. Favorite song is Life by the Drop. Yes, I've played the SRV signature...but it didn't really do anything for me. At least, not compared to basically any other strat. Yes, we'd love to hear the blues jam story.
0.13s, eh? Stevie felt that Hendrix was on to something with the reversed Trem. He was a big fan. Yeah, a Strat's a One-Trick-Pony, but nothing else sounds like it. Fave? 'Riviera Paradise'.
Dude! Awesome Guitar! My Fav. Song By SRV is "The Sky Is crying" And i was 19 and in College when i heard About SRV Passing. He is a Great Blues Guitarist!!! RIP Mr SRV.
I have played the ORIGINAL prototype Stevie played on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. Larry Brooke's built it and let me play it. It sits in his closet. Same strings Stevie played.
I should explain that Larry Brookes worked for the Fender custom shop and built the original prototype. When Stevie passed away, that guitar was returned to Larry. I was teaching Larry CAD-CAM....and that's how I ended up playing the prototype.
I own this guitar. My only genuine Fender. Love it for the thick neck. Had to change the pickguard since I'm not SRV but it's still my #1. Wish the hardware was nickel or chrome instead of gold but oh well
I remember dreaming of having the SRV guitar back around 2000 when I was in college, I ended up with an MIM Standard Fender Stratocaster in sunburst with a Rosewood board, which was a special order from my shop (the owner only liked maple fingerboards on sunburst and I payed the extra $36 for the veneer), it was my first electric guitar. I have added a black pick guard and interestingly enough a set of the CLF-100 vintage G&L pickups. I play it with 11s and tune it down to E flat. I played the sh#t out of that guitar and even used it for Weezer songs (Rivers also tuned to e flat on Say it Ain't So). It was my number one (no pun intended) for over ten years. You mentioned G&L, around that same time I discovered them too, but have built up a collection in the mean time with a real stable vintage pieces. F-100, SC-1 (2), SC-2 (2), SC-3, ASATs (2), and an interesting Comanche VI. They all play great and I'll pick a few of them as my go too's. Love your channel, and appreciate the honest feedback. If you really like G&L, check out the old stuff, there is a lot there and it is still relatively inexpensive.
2:01 Gosh, I remember playing along with "My Sweet Lord" when it was on Top 40 radio. Couldn't figure out that one funny chord at the time, but I eventually did, and it was still before this MIke guy was born. It doesn't squick me so much that this guy's better than me (and he's quite improved since those 30-second joke videos), but he HAS MOAR GUITARS THAN ME!
Aw! I wanted to also hear the G&L HSS. Tim Pierce, great and famous studio guitarist, seems to use a HSS when he needs the ability to play EVERY genre. Love you VIDs
I litterly died soon I figured out this video was about the SRV strat.. I have wanted on for over 20 years I almost had one last year but the deal fell through… I have Texas specials in my own strat and absolutely love them.. I can’t believe you got to play one… amazing… plus my Fav song is look at little sister by SRV and like pretty well ever other song hahaha
SRV is one of the all time greatest. Just caught Jimmie Vaughan a couple weeks ago open for Clapton! FYI Stevie never had the backplate on his guitars, actually. Also, the upside down trem was a tribute to Jimi Hendrix
Never played it, never wanted too, probably never will. The idea of signature guitars have been around all of my 42 years of playing but has never appealed to me much. This one in particular was for a guy who went out of his way to make playing a Strat, already a tempermental animal on its best day, like going to war with it. Ass-backwards trems and strings guaranteed to leave you with a case of tendonitis not my idea of practical or even enjoyable. As much as I love vintage Fenders, they were a first stab at something that has continued to evolve and the older you get, trust me you don't want to be fighting with your instrument. Hero worship is a natural part of growing up but at some point you have to be yourself. That's why I have largely left big-brand guitars behind because at the end of the day they are only about the Benjamins. My 2 main guitars nowadays are ones of my own specs and my own making courtesy of Warmoth parts and select pickup winders. It's the only way to get a guitar that is truly "yours".
The string set alone on that are first grade pencil sized. I wouldn't even pick that guitar up. SRV is just beyond me, I don't have it in me to destroy my finger tips & super glue them to play a 🎸.
Nope. I recently discovered my favorite all-around electric guitar (I have a fav hardtail guitar and a fav floating trem guitar as well), by accident. I was looking at EBMM Majesty 6 strings, and discovered the Kaizen 6. I recall the release of the Kaizen 7, but not interested in 7-strings. Got an EBMM Kaizen 6 in Indigo Blue, and within a week I had two more, mint and white. Sold a few guitars I wasn't using much. The Kaizen 6 feels great, plays great, sounds great, comfortable, balanced and lightweight and I think it looks great. I've had many guitar honeymoons over the decades, but the experience with the Kaizen 6 - my first ever EBMM too - was like nothing else. If it had a floating trem, I'd probably sell my fav floating trem guitars too.
That is one of the most beautiful guitars I've ever seen. I'm actually looking to get my first signature guitar, but I'm looking at the Nancy Wilson signature Epiphone Nighthawk. It's just like the guitar she played on Barracuda and so many of Heart's early hits. And plus there aren't a lot of women with signature models, so there's something of a historic side to it.
SRV is a awesome player but for me is Jeff Beck, nobody else can make a strat sing like Beck ‼️👍 I was looking at G&L , but there's no stores in my area that sells them. Next 🎸 is an 🇺🇸 professional 2 telecaster Miami Blue.
Of course we wanna hear stories about you embarrassing yourself! 😂😉 Also, does anyone ever put anything less than 13’s on a Stevie guitar? Genuinely curious if it’s considered blasphemy lol.
I tried one years ago when they first were a thing. It was just as hard to play then, high action thick strings, as now. The low E had that thunk though.
It's a beautiful guitar, that's for sure! Would I own one? - Nah. It's just a tribute guitar - a way to say "SRV is one of my favorite players." And that's totally OK, but I can play SRV licks on my less expensive guitars. Those guitars lack 2 important things - his heart and his hands. But if you have the money for one and you're dying to get one, I say go for it. I've had signature models before, and they're no different. But dang, it IS a real looker!!
I got my Strat and I'm good with that. As far as the greatest Stevie, it's gotta be Little Wing or Riviera Paradise. Lenny is great but SRV perfected that performance with Little Wing. There's something about the latter song that's just magical, on an album that might be Stevie's greatest? Everything on In Step is a banger; he was clean by that point and it shows.
I’m having Mandela effect that Fender has had your attention before. It’s cool. It’s your multiverse. No shame going parallel. Being re surprised you love fender in this universe make sense you’d start by mentioning g&l. Lol
its for people with very large hands lol. I never actually grabbed one, but I would be interested in knowing if the neck curve is as big as the newer revised Rosewood Silver sky's.
There are 2 G&L guitars I really love - The 1981/82 SC2 and the 1985 Broadcaster. They had a great start. Regarding the SRV - Pao Ferro is such a disappointment - I get it, but I love the blackness of early fender rosewood fretboards - I also love the dressy look of ebony. Maple has its place, but the pao ferro is a milktoast modern excuse for rosewood and it's never a good look. No offense - I just think they ( guitar manufacturers) could do better. i wouldn't spend the money on one.
Did this come from sweet water tune in Eb? Also, what gauge strings did you use for this video? did it come from sweet water as well with that set up? Thanks.
It seems like Fender ALWAYS has your attention my friend! 😂
Or John Mayer lol
@@Deedadee42069yeah this dude loves john mayer more then john mayer loves himself

You’re right about those necks. I borrowed my buddy’s (04 I think) for a song at a gig and I’ve got super sweaty hands. I’m glad I didn’t have to play a second song. I’d sand that down if it were mine though.
Scuttle Buttin's has to be my favorite SRV song...his riffing in that song is insane and it makes me smile every time I hear it. Also one of the few instances I am aware of that a Strat player uses the middle position
"Crossfire" is my favorite SRV song by a wide margin.
8:04 just wanted to correct you here, the David Bowie album, “Let’s Dance” featured SRV on lead guitar. Worth checking out!
That guitar sounds great and you have excellent tone!

Name another guitar UA-camr who puts this much effort into their videos.... I'll wait
Big yes Mike to the blues jam story! Also, way to call out Rhett 😂
One of the greatest songs he did is “Life by the drop” that is my favorite then it’s Texas Flood but life by the drop brought me to tears it has so much feeling in it just really moved me
Desperately wanna hear the embarrassing story. I have a feeling all of us can relate to that one...
The kids don’t say “It’s morphin’ time.” Anymore. They say “It’s Morbin’ time!”
Im glad youve updated him 😂
Favorite part was when Mike morbed all over that strat. Truly a guitar moment in history
Just let the saying die in peace.
@@bruceman9581 Morbin’ Time should not die in peace. It should be dispatched violently.
I seriously wanted to hear more about that G&L, they don't get enough love. I thought finally but then I spoke too soon.

Been playing for 13 years now. 26 now. Time flies. Still cant get past the Pau Ferro fret boards. The look makes me feel like its dusty.
Life Without You love his playing and lyrics. Just a song for a fallen friend.
Yes we want to hear the story.
I’d like to go to a blues jam but would love to learn from others first!
Yeah ok I’m not sure I’m good enough…

You'd like my Strat. 96 Lone Star model. 2 Texas specials and a pearly gates bucker....and 22 frets!!
…geeze Mike, you made me laugh; nice job!
really leveling up the production quality
Cold Shot, Crossfire, Texas Flood. It’s hard to pick and the list could just go on and on.

Stevie used to play with…guitar cables. They had to talk him down to a lower gauge because they were causing the neck to bend. Or something like that.
SRV is one of the all time greatest. Just caught Jimmie Vaughan a couple weeks ago open for Clapton! FYI Stevie never had the backplate on his guitars, actually. Also, the upside down trem was a tribute to Jimi Hendrix

Strat looks really dope 🥵
its for people with very large hands lol. I never actually grabbed one, but I would be interested in knowing if the neck curve is as big as the newer revised Rosewood Silver sky's.
Wow, nice guitar! :)
played the Hendrix intro of little wing?!!
Kuddos on the editing and extra content 🔥
I have played this one before. Its great guitar
Wanting something different turned me into a Guild fanboy
The fender Mayer strat is the same thing but better. I tried the sRv and for something so close to what I have already it just didn’t click for me.
There are 2 G&L guitars I really love - The 1981/82 SC2 and the 1985 Broadcaster. They had a great start. Regarding the SRV -
Pao Ferro is such a disappointment - I get it, but I love the blackness of early fender rosewood fretboards - I also love the dressy look of ebony. Maple has its place, but the pao ferro is a milktoast modern excuse for rosewood and it's never a good look. No offense - I just think they ( guitar manufacturers) could do better. i wouldn't spend the money on one.
I wish my thumb was 4" long like yours😂
Finallymore fender vids thanks
Jesus oil that fretboard
Cool video. What camera do you use?
Love you dude
Tell us the blues jam story!
Rude mood is unmatched

Gotta be Lenny man... gotta be...

invest in super glue while you're at it
