Stevie Ray Vaughan's Fender Stratocaster, "Lenny", Added to the Eric Clapton Crossroads Auction
According to a brief report (requires free subscription) in the Sunday, April 25, 2004, edition of the Fort Worth, Texas, newspaper, the Star-Telegram, Stevie Ray Vaughan's Fender Strat he named "Lenny" will be included in this summer's Eric Clapton Crossroads auction at Christie's. The Strat, along with many other SRV guitars, has been in the safe-keeping of SRV's brother, Jimmie Vaughan, since the Texas bluesman's death in 1990. According to the Star-Telegram, also added to the auction is a replica of SRV's "#1". Though not stated in the article, it's most likely one of the Fender Custom Shop Tribute instruments.
