Do You REALLY Need 13s for SRV Tone?

We’ve all heard the myth: if you’re not playing 13s, you’re not getting the Stevie Ray Vaughan tone. But is it really true? In this video, Rhys and I break down whether you actually need to suffer through heavy gauge strings to get that iconic Texas sound. We dive into SRV’s playing style, arthritis, and even share what René Martinez (Stevie’s guitar tech) told Rhys about Stevie’s string choices - including the truth behind those “13s.” ➤ 🎸 Watch the Rhys Guitar Video That Went Viral https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nm5Gh1b-6E&t=1087s Be sure to follow Rhys John Stygal on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rhys_guitar Pedal Pawn Shop: https://pedalpawn.com/shop-1 Be sure to SUBSCRIBE so you don't miss out on insane pedal GIVEAWAYS! #pedalpawn Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pedalpawn/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PedalPawn/ Trade your unwanted effects for Pedal Pawn: https://pedalpawn.com/trades
