Welcome back to Fulton Street Beats! Today, we delve into the craftsmanship of Cathy Zhong, renowned in China for her tribute guitars. In this review, we explore her prototype SRV #1 Fender Stratocaster style guitar, a homage to the legendary Stevie Ray Vaughan.
Known for her meticulous attention to detail, Cathy Zhong has already impressed with her custom Kirk Hammett LP style guitar. Now, she presents a limited run of six SRV guitars, each promising to encapsulate the spirit of the iconic Stratocaster.
But is this guitar merely a Chender / Chibson or a finely tuned custom masterpiece? Join us as we examine every facet, from the relic'd nitro finish to the authentic Fender saddles on the bridge. The setup, fretwork, and pickups are meticulously executed, while the aged hardware adds authenticity to this tribute.
As we explore this instrument, we'll also dive into the rich history of Stevie Ray Vaughan's #1 guitar, famously salvaged from a pawn shop in the early '80s. Its journey from obscurity to the hands of a blues legend is a testament to its significance in music history.
Don't miss out on this exclusive review! Hit play and discover if Cathy Zhong has truly captured the essence of SRV's legendary instrument.
Rumor has it there is more limited guitars to come soon!

Excellent build, thank you Cathy for listening to us chibson owners, and making the best budget guitars on the market.
you Chibson guys are the worst. I got my first one this week and now I'm hooked! Such a great value and awesome platform, all I want to do now is order more. :D
I love it! I am an SRV fan, well, Blues in general, but Stevie is in my favorites list. Love the channel.
Thank you brother
Best damn guitar channel on CZcams... thanks for what you do for the community! You deserve hundreds of thousands of subscribers to put it bluntly.
Thank you so much for those kind words brother. You are much appreciated 🙏🙏
Jeez that is amazing! Very accurate copy! 🔥🔥🔥
I think its a killer guitar! I’m not a big SRV fan but cool to see that at least one chinese builder can pull of a strat! Great video Mike! Always love your stuff!
Thank you brother. And thanks for stopping by🙂🙂
I absolutely love it.
As always, absolutely fantastic. Thank you brother and thank you Cathy. ❤❤❤❤ From Ireland.
Mark from Oz here mate, great to see you play some blues and for longer than usual. SRV guitar is not my bag but Cathy's factory did another great build on it as usual. Cheers from Down Under.
Thanks brother. I can't wait to see the other Limited runs.
Daymn MIKE!!!! You put that AXE threw the works, Sounds Awesome. Keep Rockin Bro
Thank my brotha!
Thanks, Man...I enjoy your vids
Thank you🙂🙂
Wow another quality build by Cathy and out of the box that demo sounded great and that’s only the prototype! I gotta see the Angus SG with “ANGUS” on the headstock.
The Angus SG is the one that I am very excited about also. Thanks for stopping by Nick. You rock!
@@FultonStreetBeats , you’re welcome Mike. I’m gonna keep an eye out for the Angus!
@bass-hiroshimanick2534 I'll let you know when it arrives brother.
@@FultonStreetBeats thanks Mike.
Ordered me a hetfield Flying V of the same your having built I can not wait to get it
Kickazzz SRV strat sounds so good!! Great video FSB it's a yay!
Thanks my best brother!🙂
@@FultonStreetBeats Definitely the best SRV copy out of China and we know why cause it's from Cathy! 😆
@@ElvisPretzel-rv3bg 💯
I just saw you VIEWS POST while watching this . Interesting tribute guitar 🎸🎶🎶 🍻 🥃🥃
Another winner
Love it I hope the Rory Gallagher strat I ordered from eBay is something close
Very cool
Real nice build. I think you’ve convinced me to give Cathy a shout for my own custom order. Do you know if she builds any Vs - either offset or full V?
Yes, she definitely does.
Sweet! Thanks bro 👍🏼
I have a Chames Chetfield Chakebyte from an eBay seller. Has active pickups and slays. I'll have to go to Kathy for a custom. These things are sick
😝Love the videos in your video!
Hi Mike...l just contacted Cathy and programmed the construction of a replica of the famous Paul Kossoff Stripped/Unburst Les Paul he played at the Isle of Wight show with FREE...She told that there are no problems with my requests and in 75 days +or - l will have my Guitar here in Italy,near Venezia,where l live...if all goes well l Will have my Dreams Guitar for 415 Euro,(the Gibson Kossoff model,that is not the reissue of the stripped one but a simple '59 is about 12.000 euro by now)...Hope l will be enthusiast as you are when l will have the Guitar 🎸🎸❤️ l will keep you informed.cheers from Italy 🍻🍻🍻🤟👍
Hi Mike...Just a question,from the moment you already bought various guitars from Cathy:l hope nothing will be wrong but in case of asking a refund,does it works as on AliExpress or is there another procedure???👍👍👍🎸🎸🎸🍻
@marcozarattini1854 I haven't had to ever do a return, or get a refund. I do know from what others say that she always makes it right if anything is wrong.
its done very well but in order to get the details correct hands on experience with vintage strats is a must. ide personally be fine correcting the small differences. the old necks have a pretty unique shape to them at the heel and wear the neck meets the headstock. all easy fixes. also the fret dots spacing at the 12th is correct but the dots themselfs are the wrong color..my dad worked in a vintage guitar shop wen i was growing up so i got to play some of the best golden era 50s and 60s gibsons fenders gretches you name it..i started copying old fenders wen i was a teenager in the early mid 90s before it was called relicing lol.
You should try the charvel Jim root superstrat copy
I prefer to make my own relics, one day at a time.
SRV bought his already beat up used in a pawn shop in the early 80's. This is a fan guitar, and probably not for someone who doesn't know the history of the original.
Boy she sure did a great job on that.
Yeah she is definitely now my go to if I need something special.
these guitars looks great! However, my big problem with the Chibson's (or anything made in Asia) style guitars is that they never
(at least in my exp.) make the necks right... they are always just plain ole C's. This SRV guitar for instance is a signature strat and should have an SRV Oval C. Does It? If so that's rare.
The over seas (Chibson's) guitars I have seen all are just plain ole C's on the strats models and maybe a little thicker on the LP's.
If I want a signature strat, I expect to get that exact neck shape i.e. Eric Clapton's Soft V or Eric Johnson's soft V etc, etc. Seems like there is a lot of great looking and playing guitars coming from across the pond but... what I have seen is that the majority of them have only basic C necks...and for me that does not work. Oh, one last comment... most of these companies have etching machines that do metal etching and can make any word or design perfectly!
Besides that, It would be way too costly to use real Fender stamped saddles, neck plates or anything else for that matter on these inexpensive builds. Just my 2 cents worth. Peace.
sweet guitar brother!
theres only 1 bad thing in my mind about it...i dont like the fact ya have to remove the neck to adjust the trussrod...
possibly the "normal" runs of this one will have the adjustment up top....or maybe a wheel at the bottom?
Thanks brother. I believe she followed the pictures of the real #1 from Early on. Good thing is it was set up beautifully.
@@FultonStreetBeats hekk yaa looks great brother!
The relic job looks more like a stenciled decal like some of the ltd guitars.
非常棒的视频，感谢你的客观的评价。中国与时俱进，一直在快速发展。现在的工艺和材料完全可以做更好的东西：）如果有定制需要的朋友也可以联系我：）
Is there a truss rod?
Yes, under the guard at the base.
Not sure about the back plate, but the saddles are not genuine Fender. I’ve seen those before.. they are decent quality, but not genuine. There’s usually some slight difference in the lettering and sometimes the screws are a bit wiggly in the thread.
I have a New Fender Mexican Strat bridge sitting right here that is identical in every way other than being for a right handed strat. part number 005-9561-000 fits a 2006 and earlier. Mexico Strat. 2- 3/32 string spacing. The exact same font, screws and springs, and same skinny block. Purchased from a Authorized Fender seller on Ebay. This build was a prototype so many liberties were used. This is not the usual Chinese SRV you see on AliExpress. Much more care and attention was given .
Hey mikey what up ? How are you doing ?
Hey Timmy. I hope all is well🙂🙂
@@FultonStreetBeats it's not well here but I'm not going to go into it CZcams will just delete my comment anyway !
Remember when you order a Chinese guitar no matter what they say it's going to be at least 2 - 3 months before you get your guitar I'm waiting on a Firebird now
All depends on various factors. USA stock is very fast. Off the shelf from China - 2 weeks or less. Custom builds 1-3 months. Complicated custom builds. 3 -6 months. USA stock is usually 10 days or less. Anything coming though customs can be 24hrs hold to 4 weeks hold. That's with any item coming through customs. Not just guitars.
Man, I ordered something off aliexpress, and I got a complete stinker. The pickups are just complete junk, well the one that works anyway, set up is all wrong, color is way off, very rough frets. Haven't even popped it open to actually look at the wiring yet, part of me just wants to throw it in the trash, but I figure I'll just replace the pickups and hardware and wiring and everything with the Wilkinson stuff,
bar magnet pickups are trash but the guitar looks good, just by some picks to switch out
i have cathy building me something on your recommendation
Meh I not digging this one it looks like every other srv relic. It like the use the same relic template for all the bodies
Why would you not expect replicas to look the same, that’s the whole point of them!
Since it’s Chinese SRV….can it really be called a Chibson ? I thought Chinese Fenders were called Chenders….you know like Chinese Rickenbackers are called chickenbackers !!!!!🎸🤘🎶😆😁
Read the title and the description. We say Chisi. Because it's universally understood. Not everyone knows the other terms.
You barely got the thing out of the box and i wanted to waste all the money I don't have.
I feel your pain.
I am going broke myself 🙂😆
