My Guitar Notes

Lenny

Lenny is the name Stevie Ray Vaughan gave to a Fender Stratocaster, and it is one of the best documented individual guitars in blues. He acquired it in the early 1980s, and its bright, bell-like voice made it his instrument for a number of well known recordings, most famously the instrumental to which it gave its name. The guitar has a 1960s-style specification with a three-colour sunburst finish and a rosewood fretboard, and it was later sold at auction for a considerable sum, becoming one of the more celebrated Stratocasters in existence.
