The Really Cool Stuff |

|
SIGNED
record from Stevie's personal collection of blues records - This is a
1977 vinyl LP which came out shortly after Freddie died. As was Stevie's
custom, he wrote his name, "S.R. Vaughan" on the top right
corner of the record jacket to mark it as his record. In those days,
Stevie moved quite frequently, and records were swapped and borrowed
routinely, so there was no question Stevie wanted to mark this with his
name. This may be the very record from which Stevie learned
"Hideaway" and other Freddie classic songs. King Record lable,
but they didn't know how to spell the great man's name -
"Freddie" on the cover, "Freddy" on the lable. The
cover got some water damamge on the lower part, and the paper split about
half way across (the cover is not torn, just the paper on the cover split
when it dried). Looks its age and well enjoyed. Stevie's signature is
extremely distinct, high contrast - beautiful. Frame this up with your
favorite photo of Stevie and an engraved badge saying "From the
personal collection of Stevie Ray Vaughan." I got this from a friend
of mine who has had it for many years, and cannot now remember where he
found it. He shops a lot of estate and garage sales, record fairs etc. I
guarantee the signature is genuine, and it is written just like several
other records I have in my collection which belonged to Stevie. Awesome. |

In
Step Band/VIP-ONLY Tour Jacket. Impossibly rare. The highest quality tour jacket of
all the jackets made for the band/crew. This beautiful
black wool and red leather coat is exceptionally rare and was never
available to the public. Each band and major crew member had a jacket with
their name embroidered on the front above the In Step logo (this
one belonged to crew member Danny), and the back is embroidered with the
large "SRV and Double Trouble" logo. You could put a pin or two
over Danny's name and no one would even know it's there, and the jacket
would still be in original condition. My experience with these
letterman-style jackets is that they run larger than the size tag
indicates. I am six feet tall and 175 pounds, and this jacket fits almost like it
was tailored for me. There is plenty of length in the body and
sleeves for me; it is comfortable but a little snug around the middle
which is where all my weight seems to be going as I get older! The jacket is used, but the leather is in excellent
condition and has been well taken care of. The fabric collar and cuffs are the
only places with slight fuzziness from being used. I have
only seen three or maybe four of these jackets on the market. Stevie's
jacket now belongs to friends of mine and has been exhibited at the Rock &
Roll Hall of Fame + Museum in Cleveland. Janna's jacket is in my SRV
Museum Collection. There might have been one other on the market, but
that's about it. All the band/VIP-only jackets are rare, but many think
this one is the best looking. |

1984
Couldn't Stand the Weather Tour Jacket - One of only
four or five on the market in the past 20 years, to my knowledge, and I have two
of them (the other stays in the museum collection). Embroidered front and
back, this is the first SRV tour jacket to feature embroidery and was only
the second tour jacket ever made for the band. The first was a satin
jacket with a printed design. This was crew member Dan's jacket, his name
embroidered on the front. Again, if you want to hide his name without
damaging the jacket, put a small pin over his name. |
$995

 |
1987
Live Alive Tour Jacket - The most elaborately embroidered of all the
tour jackets (and the only "hoodie"), with a large image of
Stevie wearing the Native American headdress on the back. This is nice
warm jacket with a liner, zip front plus snaps and a hood that can be left
inside or pulled out. Size M, but I think they run large. One dark spot on one elbow, cuffs and
bottom elastic a little bit "fuzzy" which could be rememdied
easily.

The ULTIMATE SRV Guitar Collection - This is my personal
collection of replicas of Stevie's most famous guitars.
1. The Fender Custom Shop "Number One." Luthier
John Cruz confirmed for me that this is #12 of only 100 Custom Shop
guitars. According to a dealer at the Dallas Guitar Show in 2009, the
asking price on these is now $50,000-55,000 if you can find one. Custom
Shop guitars like this are investment grade. Flight case, case candy and
original box.
2. The Fender Custom Shop "Lenny." Only
185 of these
guitars were released for the U.S. market in 2007 by the famous Custom Shop.
Stevie's "Lenny" sold for
$623,000. Flight case, case candy and original box. These Custom Shop
guitars originally sold for $17,000.
3. Charley's Guitar Shop "Lipstick Special." Number 1
of only 23 made by Charley's Guitar Shop and Rene Martinez in January
2003. That's right - this is #1, the very first one. Other owners include
Carlos Santana, John Mayer and other celebrities. Irridescent blue/white
"flip-flop" paint, Charley's logo, hula girl on back, immitation
snakeskin case. Certificate signed by Rene Martinez, Stevie's guitar tech.
Best tone of any guitar I own.
4. Jim Hamilton "Hamiltone" a.ka. "Main." The
most beautiful guitar I have ever owned. Sweet tone. This is number
01, made in 2004 to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Stevie receiving his
from Jim Hamilton in April 1984. There are photos of this guitar being
made in Jim's studio elsewhere on this website. Signed on the back of the
headstock by Jim Hamilton. This is NOT one of the asian knockoffs being
sold by someone other than Jim Hamilton under the Hamiltone name. This is
the real deal made by the same man who made Stevie's guitar.
PURCHASE OPTIONS:
Number One and Lenny: $65,000
Charley and Lenny: $25,000
Hamiltone and Lenny: $25,000
All four guitars: $80,000 |

GUITAR PICKS |

|
There
are 17 different custom picks with Stevie's name printed on the pick.
Easily the most common pick Stevie used was a plain ol' Fender medium. The
only guitar picks I can confidently say were actually used by Stevie Ray
Vaughan to make some of the most amazing music in history are those I have
obtained directly from his roadies or his former fiance. Picks showing wear from use by Stevie:
- Fender medium, red (top row, middle). He used these throughout his
career, but particularly in the early years. USED. $995
- Fender medium, red. Similar to above. USED. $SOLD
- Fender medium, light blue. USED. $SOLD
Custom picks (no wear apparent):
- Yellow "Stevie Ray" - his second pick with his name on it. ca.
1983. $SOLD
- Purple Delrin "Stevie Ray Vaughan". $SOLD
- White "Stevie Ray Vaughan" on two lines. $SOLD
- Red "Stevie Ray Vaughan" on two lines in gold letters $SOLD
- Multicolor "Stevie Ray Vaughan" in gold letters. $SOLD
- Multicolor "Stevie Ray Vaughan" in gold letters. $650
- Multicolor "Stevie Ray Vaughan" in gold letters. $650
- Multicolor "Stevie Ray Vaughan" in highly contrasting white
letters. $800
Other SRV picks
One of Stevie's roadies recently discovered some guitar picks left
over from touring with Stevie. These picks all date to the period
1983-1985 and are unused. They are from two of Stevie's favorite guitar
shops - Ray Hennig's Heart of Texas Music in Austin, and Charley's Guitar
Shop in Dallas. I think they are really cool because of where they are
from and I added some of these to my Stevie pick collection because they
are just as much from Stevie's pick supply as those with his name on them.
Not as expensive, but just as genuine. Because they do not have Stevie's
name on them, we are offering them for ONLY $100 each, or a set of
seven for $650.
- Vintage "H.O.T. Music" pick from Ray Hennig's Heart of Texas
Music in Austin, Texas! Ray's store is where Stevie got Number One in
1974, and where he would stop before shows to get picks, strings, etc.
Available in red, white, blue, tortoise and black. State your top two
color choices, and if we run out of your top choices we'll send you one of the
others.
- Vintage Charley's Guitar Shop pick from Dallas, Texas. Charley
Wirz was, of course, the man Stevie dedicated "Life Without You"
to. Charley started the Dallas Guitar Show in 1978, and it continues on
today. Stevie obtained several guitars from Charley, including the famous
white guitar on the cover of Couldn't Stand the Weather. Picks available
in yellow and white glow-in-the-dark. State your preference, but if we run out
of glow-in-the-dark we'll send you a yellow one.

Reese. Signed in Cincinnati on June 24, 1990, just two months before
Stevie passed. White paper signed clearly and legibly by all four band
members in ball-point pens. Excellent for framing with anything - poster,

difficult to find. |

POSTERS |
|
|
1980s collection of 15 Continental Club
monthly calendar posters, all with at least one SRV gig. Really
interesting artwork in addition to being an historical record of the
Austin music scene at the time Stevie was hitting his stride from March
1980 until October 1982. As near a complete collection of these posters as
you are likely to find, and all are near mint. Acquired from the former
owner of the club years ago. The posters are
pictured in the book on various pages. They are priced in sets of
three posters (your choice) or the whole set of 15.

1981 Club Poster - Before Stevie and Double Trouble started touring
the world in 1983 they were on the Texas club circuit. A couple of Austin
clubs had very artistic monthly calendars and the Continental Club
calendars by Gary Olliver are among the harder to find. This one is from December
1981 and lists "Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble" on
the 21st. The calendar is a microcosm of the Austin music scene almost
thirty years ago and includes W.C. Clark, Leroi Brothers, The Cobras,
Angela Strehli Band, The Skunks, Van Wilks and others. 11x17 and in mint
condition! It is pictured in my book on page 148 (bottom right). Posters
showing SRV concerts before mid-1983 are very difficult to find. |

1982 Club Poster - Before Stevie and Double Trouble started touring

clubs had very artistic monthly calendars and the Continental Club

1982 and lists "Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble" on
the 18th. The calendar is a microcosm of the Austin music scene almost
thirty years ago and includes W.C. Clark, Leroi Brothers, The Cobras,
Angela Strehli Band, Lewis and the Legends, Tex Thomas and His Danglin'
Wranglers and others. 11x17 and in excellent condition! It is pictured in
my book on page 149. Posters showing SRV concerts before mid-1983 are very
difficult to find. |

1982 concert poster for Austin Blues Festival at Auditorium
Shores (now the site of the SRV Memorial). 22x28 cardboard boxing style!

Texas
Flood type promo poster - This poster is huge, approximately 48 x
36 !! It is almost identical to the first SRV promo poster for Texas
Flood except that when they reprinted this poster in 1987 to use for
tour promotion they added "AND DOUBLE TROUBLE" at the top of the
poster, probably at Stevie's insistence that the band be acknowledged on
the poster. It is in very good condition with minor
edge wear and a 1/2" wrinkle mark repeating down the middle every few
inches from having been slightly creased while rolled. |
$200 |

1988 Austin R&B Benefit Concert featuring SRV, T-Birds,
Bonnie Raitt, Ruth Brown. Rare signed and numbered 111/500 by the artist
Julie Speed. Large 25x39, drymounted on heavy posterboard, and has gotten
a bit wavy from moisture over the years, but still looks great in a frame.
Will have to ship it flat & unframed, or you can pick it up and I'll
include the frame. Inexpensive way to get a poster worth $250-300 if it
weren't mounted. Pictured in the book p.323. |

Printer's
Proof - In Step Color Separations - A set of nine (9) color
separations on heavy stock for the In Step CD longbox and cassette
artwork, including the printer's cover sheet. Impossibly rare and in my
collection since 1993. There are two all-colors prints, one each of black
ink, red ink, yellow ink, blue ink - I can't remember them all because
they have been in storage for 17 years. Each sheet is approximately
34" x 22". I have one of the all-color sheets matted and framed,
but it is too large to ship framed. If you live close you can pick it up
framed, otherwise it will ship unframed. This is the ONLY set I have ever seen. |

1989 concert poster for the Presidential Inuagural party.
Very hard to find - I've only seen two in 20 years. 18x24. Names of the
performers are listed on the poster. Acquired from one of Stevie's
roadies. Pictured in the book p. 328 |

1990 Alpine Valley photo
by noted photographer Robert Knight. 20x30 framed photo of Stevie, Jimmie,
Eric Clapton and Robert Cray back stage at Stevie's very last concert, just
hours before he died. The best estimate is that only 100 of these were made
for select Fender dealers back in 1992. They have sold for up to $1500 in
the rare instances that they come on the market. Knight's work sells for big
dollars these days, owing in part to the movie about him and to the fact he
does great work, of course. Please excuse the glare in the photo. |

Pins
- 1990s cloisonne (metal and enamel) pin made by the Estate of Stevie Ray Vaughan. Gold
and white guitar with "Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble."
These are the nicest SRV pins ever made. They were originally made in
small quantity at the time Couldn't Stand the Weather was released
in 1984. The Estate of SRV made another relatively small quantity around
1994. I recently bought out what I believe to be the last horde of these
15-year-old pins. One sold on eBay recently for $71, and the originals
from 1984 (if you can find one) sell for up to $100. These pins are
identical except for the texture on the back of the pin. It has a locking
clasp on the back like jewelry, not one of those detachable round clasps
you squeeze. This is not a cheap pin-back button but a high quality
cloisonne pin. They are 1.5" long.

My personal collection of SRV magazines, newspaper
articles and clippings. I collected these items from all over the
world for 20 years. This is almost certainly the most complete SRV research
library in the world, used to create the newlsetters, website and books I
have published. The standard-size magazines and clippings are organized
into approximately 16 large notebooks, plus there are several boxes of
newspapers and oversized magazines. For the items with Stevie on the
cover, these are the actual magazines pictured in the books I have done. Please
note that it is probably
going to be late 2011 before I will be ready to transfer this collection to you, as I
am still using them for another project. There are approximately 335
magazines dating from 1974 to the present, including approximately 20 that
came with CDs, and approximately 140 have Stevie on the cover! There are
also approximately 40 newspapers, including 10 reporting Stevie's death
and funeral. If that isn't enough, there are also three 2-inch notebooks
of clippings and photocopies of articles from around the world. |
