SVL "Electric Lady"
Previously owned by Matt Schofield
INCLUDES HSC and letter of provenance
The 2020 SVL "Electric Lady" S in Gold is a remarkable instrument that stands as a tribute to the legendary Jimi Hendrix and his iconic '68 maple cap Stratocaster. This guitar, personally owned and played by blues virtuoso Matt Schofield, was conceived with a deep reverence for Hendrix's influence on guitar playing and music history. As detailed in the accompanying Letter of Authentication, this guitar is a unique creation, built to Matt Schofield's precise specifications, making it a one-of-a-kind instrument as far as is known.
Crafted with a sassafras body, the "Electric Lady" offers a distinct tonal character that sets it apart from traditional Stratocaster models. The birdseye maple neck and large late sixties headstock not only pay homage to the era of Hendrix but also contribute to the guitar's striking appearance and comfortable playability. The maple cap fingerboard is a nod to the specifications of Hendrix's own guitar, providing a smooth playing surface and bright tonal response. Equipped with 6105 frets, the guitar offers precise intonation and ease of play across all registers.
The custom Mark Foley "reverse stagger" late sixties style pickups are a highlight of this instrument, designed to capture the essence of the tones that defined an era of guitar music. These pickups, combined with the guitar's unique volume and dual tone control configuration, allow for a wide range of sounds, from clean, shimmering chords to rich, saturated leads. The serial number, 180970, serves as a poignant reminder of Jimi Hendrix's passing, further cementing this guitar's status as a tribute to his legacy.
The "Electric Lady" comes housed in a Hiscox hardshell case, ensuring its protection and preservation. The inclusion of a Letter of Authentication adds to the guitar's collectibility and verifies its provenance and connection to Matt Schofield. Whether used in studio recordings, seen in Schofield's TrueFire course videos, or cherished as a collector's item, the 2020 SVL "Electric Lady" S Gold is a testament to the enduring impact of Jimi Hendrix's music and the craftsmanship of SVL Custom Guitars.
