The Really Cool Stuff |
|
In
Step Band/VIP-ONLY Tour Jacket. 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 - Impossibly rare. One of only
three 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. |
$1750 |
 |
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. One dark spot on one elbow, cuffs and
bottom elastic a little bit "fuzzy" which could be rememdied
easily.
|
$750 |
 |
1985
Japan Tour Program - One of only two SRV&DT tour programs ever
created, this is by far the most rare! (The other was for the Australian
tour.) In almost twenty years of collecting I've seen less than ten of these
on the market in the United States. 20 pages, oversized heavy cardstock
paper.

The ULTIMATE SRV Guitar Collection - This is my personal
collection of replicas of Stevie's most famous guitars. These will be sold
ONLY as a set of four guitars. I will not respond to any requests to sell
individual 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. The original sold for
$623,000. Flight case, case candy and original box.
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.

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. He used these throughout his career, but
particularly in the early years. USED. $1250
- Fender medium, red. Similar to above. USED. $1250
- Fender medium, light blue. USED. $1250
- Fender medium, tortoise shell. USED. $1250 (not pictured)
Custom picks (no wear apparent):
- Yellow "Stevie Ray" - his second pick with his name on it. ca.
1983. $850
- Tortoise shell "Stevie Ray Vaughan" in white. Probably his
fourth pick, and first to have full name. SOLD
- Purple Delrin "Stevie Ray Vaughan". $700
- White "Stevie Ray Vaughan" on two lines. $700
- Multicolor "Stevie Ray Vaughan" in gold letters. $700
- Multicolor "Stevie Ray Vaughan" in gold letters. $700
- Multicolor "Stevie Ray Vaughan" in gold letters. $700
- Multicolor "Stevie Ray Vaughan" in highly contrasting white
letters. I don't think I'm going to sell this one, but you can make an offer.
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.

AUTOGRAPHS |
 |
Autographs
- Extrememly rare poster signed by all four band members! This is the
only one of these genuine 1988 UK concert posters I have ever seen, and it
is signed! I hate to part with it but I cannot keep everything. The poster
is approximately 30" x 20" and has been signed by all four band
members in black Sharpie - Stevie signed the guitar, Chris and Tommy above
Stevie's signature, and Reese signed to the left of them in the black
area. Unfortunately you have to look at Reese's signature at the right
angle to see it because he signed black on black. The poster has bee
folded three times and there is some edge and surface ware but it displays
great! I've had it sitting next to my TV in the living room in a temporary
frame since the day I got it. The orange color is a very bright day-glo
orange which the camera did not capture. A very rare opportunity to get a
great autographed original concert poster. |

Autograph
- Texas Flood album (New Zealand pressing) signed boldly in
black marker by all three band members. This is incredible! One of the
most high contrast signed album covers I have ever had, and no
personalized inscription! This would frame beautifully and be the
centerpiece of most collections. |
$1250 |
 |
Autograph
- Live Alive promotional flat (12x12") signed in bold blue
marker ca. 1987 for an acquaintance of Stevie's publicist. The man
had correspondence from Stevie's publicist to prove their acquaintance. He
worked for the Liverpool newspaper. |
$1095 |
   |
Autograph
- Live Alive album cover signed large on the front in green
marker "Stevie Ray Vaughan c/s" and on the back cover by Chris, Tommy and Reese.
Chris tried to sign with a ballpoint on the picture of the cymbal and it
is indistinct. |

Autograph.
Soul To Soul-era Stevie Ray Vaughan autograph on a 3.5" x
5.5" record store postcard, with photo of Stevie at the event. Stevie
and the band, plus the T-Birds, attended the in-store appearance at Sam's
Jams in Ferndale, Michigan, probably in February 1986. Signed
"S.R.Vaughan c/s" in heavy black marker. See the FAQ for the
explanation of "c/s". Rare to have a candid photo from the
signing event. |
$750 |

Autograph
- Interesting "To Steve" from Stevie Ray Vaughan. Pencil signature on the
back of a message pad sheet. Obtained in '88 or '89 at President's health
club in Dallas. (I have Stevie's membership form in my collection, so the
story has merit.) |

POSTERS |
|
Most
Important Concert of Stevie's career! The Montreux Jazz Festival in
1982 launched Stevie and Double Trouble on the international scene.
Contacts he made there with David Bowie and Jackson Browne led to
studio work for Bowie's next record, massive publicity and free studio
time to record Texas Flood. The original poster from 1982 is now
very difficult to find and would probably fetch $300 or more on the
market. This is an exact replica made by the Montreux Jazz organization
several years ago. It is the same size, silk-screened on very heavy poster
stock. It appears metallic inks were used because some of the colors are
shiny as if they were painted on the paper. The only difference is the
wording of the small credit in the bottom left corner. A truly collectible
artwork poster. Approx. 28x39. Mint condition. |
$150 |
 |
Texas
Flood type promo poster - This poster is also 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. (The other one I
had is sold) |
$200 |
  |
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. |

Rare 1979
W.C. Clark single with Stevie and the Cobras. This was Stevie's
second appearance on record, and it shows up in the marketplace the least
of any SRV vinyl - even more rare than the 1971 album and Cobras picture
sleeve single. Only 500 were pressed, likely making this the rarest of all
SRV commercial releases. This one is in very nice condition. No obvious flaws in the
vinyl. The lable has "Stevie Vaughan" because it was before he
started using his full name. |

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.

The
First SRV T-shirt! This is a rare survivor - believed to be the
first SRV shirt sold to the public back in 1982. This shirt is in pretty
good condition considering it has been washed many times. It is a size L,
but you won't want to wear it - frame it like a poster! I think it's the
coolest artwork ever on an SRV shirt.

'57 Chevy (20,000) and the Chevelle (unknown quantity). There are
seven different cars. Click below to see closeup photos of six of them
(the seventh is a small version of the big Chevy. The little blue & white car ('67 Chevelle SS) is very hard to

I am
considering selling my entire collection of SRV promotional posters and
banners, as complete a collection as you will find. There are
approximately 25 or so posters and banners, some are two-sided, one is an
extremely rare box set promo poster which was only available in Dallas at
one event and there were probably only ten made. I have not added up the
value of this collection yet, but my initial estimate is $2,000. If you
are interested in purchasing the entire collection, let me know and I'll
work up a list and a price. These are the actual posters
photographed for Stevie Ray Vaughan: Day by Day, Night After Night.
|
|
|
|
I am
going to sell my personal collection of SRV magazines, newspaper
articles and clippings. I collected these items from all over the
world for almost 20 years. A few date into the 1960s, but most are from
1974 to 2009. 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.
If you are interested in buying the entire collection, let me know and
I'll figure out a price; it will probably be $2,500 or more. Please
note that if we reach an agreement on this collection, it is probably
going to be late-2010 before I will be ready to transfer it to you, as I
am still using them for another project. |
|
|
|
NOTE
ABOUT THE ABOVE COLLECTIONS: The reason I mention these collections is
that if I go to the trouble of photographing and listing hundreds of
individual items, the price will probably be
double what I'll offer the collection for because I'll want something for
all the time and trouble of sending out hundreds of packages. Save me the
time of doing that and I'll make you a good price on an entire
collection. |
