Stevie Ray Vaughan’s Guild JF65-12 12-string

Stevie used this guitar on MTV Unplugged filmed on January 30, 1990, to play Rude Mood and Pride and Joy.

This guitar wasn’t actually Stevie’s – he borrowed it from Timothy Duckworth, his friend and personal assistant. Allegedly, Timothy stated somewhere that Stevie’s hands were so strong that he accidentally cracked the neck.

The guitar is among Guild’s top-of-the-line models. It features a spruce top and sides, maple back, an abalone rosette, and ebony fretboard mother of pearl blocks with triangle-shaped abalone insets.
