Work on the SRV Strat began in the late 1980's with a plan to release a standard SRV Strat in 1989. Stevie's recording and touring schedule delayed the release, and Stevie was presented with three prototypes of the guitar in June 1990, backstage before his Tonight Show performance. Stevie wanted the guitar to have his "SRV" stickers on the pickguard, but guitar tech Rene Martinez was out of them at the moment. They had the Tonight Show art staff apply white Letraset stickers to the pickguard, which Rene ultimately switched onto Number One. As you know, Stevie died about 10 weeks later, and the SRV Strat was shelved until 1991. Jimmie allegedly nixed the idea of the limited edition guitars and focused instead on the goal of making the SRV guitar affordable to any kid (or big kid) who wants one. This jives with the fact that the Tex-Mex Strat that Jimmie endorses is one of the more affordable Strats. Supposedly, there were about a dozen Custom Shop SRV's made in 1989, with half of them now in Jimmie's possession and the others given away or sold. One person says a collector he knows paid $18,000 for one.
