John received this guitar from the Fender Custom Shop sometime in 2008, as was shown in the bonus interview featured on the Where The Light Is DVD/live album. As far as one can tell from the photos and the video available, he never used this Stratocaster live.
The guitar is a replica of a Stratocaster that Stevie Ray Vaughan received as a gift on his 26th birthday from his wife Lenora (you can read more about the guitar at Stevie Ray Vaughan’s gear page). Fender made a total of 185 instruments, all of course master-built.
