This signature Jimmie Vaughan Fender Stratocaster is used by Jimmie Vaughan for live work. He also has a relic one which he uses sometimes.

This olympic white Stratocaster can be seen next to the one that was reliced to look like the one he played with the Thunderbirds. It's got a V-Shape neck and Tex Mex pickups.

While playing alongside Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy, Phil Palmer and his brother at Alpine Valley in 1990, Jimmie Vaughan played a Pewter Eric Clapton Stratocaster.

A 1967 Fender Coronado II is used by Jimmie Vaughan sometimes for stage work. He was photographed a couple times playing this Fender model.

This guitar was used for a double neck action between Jimmie Vaughan and his brother Stevie Ray Vaughan for a song called "Pipeline".

“This is the kind of stuff I like,” he said, pulling his fingers across the strings of a worn Gibson L-5. “I like guitars that are old and have a classic sound, like you can’t get out of the ones they make today.”

Jimmie owned/played this guitar while with The Fabulous Thunderbirds.

Did you record this with your 1967 Fender Coronado guitar? "No. I found a Japanese knockoff. I don't even know what it is because it doesn't have a name on it. I bought it on eBay for $245. It's a fake Coronado. It looks similar to a Coronado. It's a Coronado knockoff. But the pickups is why I like it. It's got pickups that are similar to Bigsby pickups from the old days. They just sound great. It's the flat-wound strings and the old pickups that work together." https://www.dallasobserver.com/music/jimmie-vaughan-talks-equipment-the-stratocaster-is-the-greatest-guitar-ever-made-10111950

Do you still have that killer ’50s Barney Kessel Kay with the Kelvinator headstock?

Yes. It’s one of my favorite things. I heard that Barney Kessel, who is one of my favorite guitar players, didn’t like it. I can kinda understand that. You like what you like, you know. And you can have five guitars that look the same, but one of ’em’s gonna work and the other four won’t.Some of them can speak to you and bark better, you know what I mean?

Well, I bought an L-5. I forget what the model is, but it’s got a pointy cutaway and it’s with humbuckers. I bought it from Rudy [Pensa, of Rudy’s Music] up in New York. It’s a jazz guitar. And I have a couple of those.

Mark Webber who is teching for Jimmie Vaughan recalls that Jimmie Vaughan uses Grammatico Kingsville amps.

The 4x10s, you know. The classics. I’ve had Matchless amps for years and years. I had a 4x10 and then I had a 4x12 tall combo, and then I had a 4x12 and a head, and I loved those a lot, and I wore them out. And then the company went out [in 1998, before its 2000 comeback], and I couldn’t get those exact components, so when I had them fixed, they changed. So I started fooling around with Fenders again, and that’s when the ’59 Bassman came out, and it’s hard to beat those.

Jimmie Vaughans guitar tech Mark Weber recalls that Jimmie Vaughan uses a Boss TR-2 Tremolo.

Jimmie Vaughans guitar tech did report that Jimmie Vaughan uses the Voodoo Lab Amp Selector.

No. Well … tremolo. Strymon Flint—the black one that has three tremolos and three reverbs. I would recommend anybody that’s into tremolo and reverb try that. There’s nothing like getting that good tremolo where it kinda goes up and down a little bit. They have sort of the Lonnie Mack sound.

Guitar tech Mark Webber points out that Jimmie Vaughan uses a Furman power conditioner which is a very important piece of gear for him.

Jimmie Vaughans guitar tech points out that Vaughan is using a Shubb capo. It's most likely that he uses the S1 model.

In the source video we have spotted the triple tweed Fender case stand that Jimmie Vaughan's guitar tech, Mark Webber uses for Vaughans guitars.
