2002 Fender Stevie Ray Vaughan Stratocaster sunburst

Very Good condition, 7,5/10, Made in USA, including Fender hardcase, some previous owner played the heck out of this guitar, in addition to having lots of honest play wear it has also been heavy relic'd and personalized with a replaced pickguard and added "Custom" sticker, most of the finish is gone on the front and back of the headstock so no serial number and barely visible decal logo, no finish on the playing area on the back of neck, it has wood chips missing on the fretboard from a previous sloppy refret and worn dots, plays great and certainly have the look with tons of mojo, this is a player! When we got this guitar and it was missing both serial and the SRV signature from wear we had to question whether or not it was a real Fender SRV signature guitar and we have done a lot of research including comparison of every aspect of building, routs, stamps, etc and we have come to the conclusion that there is no doubt it is real even though modified over the years. we have included some of the pics here, the first one is our guitar, the second from a comparison guitar online:
