Eric Clapton's 1965 Composite Fender Stratocaster, known as "Lenny," was donated to him by Jimmie Vaughan from the estate of Stevie Ray Vaughan. This information is detailed in a listing by Christie's.
This guitar is displayed at a Guitar Center in Austin, Texas. It is displayed with the following notes:
Stevie Ray Vaughan “Lenny” Fender Stratocaster
In 1980, Stevie Ray Vaughan came across a ’65 Strat in a Texas pawnshop. Though the pickups had been ravaged by time, and the guitar had been sloppily refinished, something about the instrument resonated with the struggling artist. Vaughan’s wife Lenora pooled together $50 from seven of Vaughan’s friend to meet the $350 asking price, and presented the guitar to him on his birthday. Vaughan was so moved by the gift that he played the guitar all night and penned a song for his wife, playing it for her when she woke up the next morning. The song and the guitar would both go on to be the lovingly names “Lenny” - Lenora’s nickname.
Used while recording "Texas Flood" for the song "Lenny", hence the name of the song, according to a 2003 interview with Richard Mullen (published in Guitar World, December 2022 issue).
