DALLAS _ Hey, Stevie Ray Vaughan fans: Has Fender got a deal for you!
Starting Dec. 12, you can buy a Lenny.
The Fender Custom Shop will produce 250 replicas of Lenny, one of the late guitarist's two primary performance guitars. It got its hands on the axe courtesy of Guitar Center, which bought it for $623,500 at auction in 2004, and is re-creating every inlay, etch mark, crack, wear spot and glue smear in the copies, which will cost $17,000 each. (Find more information on the guitar at www.fender.com/lenny).
"I think it's way cool," said Lenora "Lenny" Vaughan, the guitarist's widow. "Doesn't it blow your mind?"
