It's definitely true that Stevie Ray Vaughan is one of my all-time favorite guitarists

Stevie Ray Vaughan is a fearsome texas blues player. He’s one of those players who’s got the the full spectrum covered. He can effortlessly fly around the fretboard at a ferocious pace whilst also having the ability to evoke the gamut of where is srv guitar number one
 moods with just a few well placed, and struck, notes. He’s comfortable exploring all dynamic ranges and can smoothly, and subtly, transition from delicate but intricate playing, straight into intense attack-mode! Does the guitar’s precise vintage matter? Not a whole lot. Regardless of SRV’s connection a 1959 Stratocaster retains a certain collector’s appeal because it demarks the first year of the rosewood fingerboard, but so-called “slab” rosewood fingerboards (thicker boards, with a flat bottom, rather than the thinner “veneer” boards that followed) were still being used into 1962 — and Fender neck profiles varied quite a bit anyway — so Strats from 1959 and 1962 might not be radically different, from the average player’s perspective.
