Stevie Ray Vaughan Rig

A real Number One, original 1964 Vibroverbs, and a Dumble Steel String Singer are collector money. The part of the sound you can actually buy is a hot Strat, a loud blackface-style Fender, and a Tube Screamer used as a boost, not a high-gain pedal.

• Vintage Number One Strat: Fender Player Stratocaster (or any Texas Special-loaded American Strat) because the 25.5" scale, single-coils, and tremolo get you most of the way without a museum hybrid.
• Fender Stevie Ray Vaughan Stratocaster: keep this if you can — it is the production signature with the reverse tremolo, thick oval neck, and Texas Specials; still spendy, but not Custom Shop money.
• 1964 Fender Vibroverb: Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb or a used Super Reverb reissue because they give blackface 6L6 grind and onboard reverb without a vintage 1x15.
• Dumble Steel String Singer: Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue because you need huge clean headroom, not a six-figure boutique head.
• Ibanez TS9: current Ibanez TS9 reissue (Drive ~2, Level 10) because that boost-into-a-cranked-amp trick is the cheapest authentic piece of the stack.
• Vox V846 wah: Vox V847 because it is the production descendant; wah is color on Hendrix covers, not the Texas Flood core.
