Question
I was wondering where are Stevie's Guitars and Amps? I know his brother maintains some of them, but does he have all of them? Also, what about his accessories (Hats, rings, necklaces braceltes, etc.)? It would be great to be able to personally see these items in a museum that honors a great artist like Stevie. I was recently at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Oh. I asked if he was eligible this year to be inducted due to meeting his 25 year waiting period after his first release, they told me no and couldn't say when, or if, he will be inducted. I was just wondering if you had any information on these issues?

Answer
Hi Jim,

Stevie was inducted into the Blues Hall Of Fame in 2000. It's in Tennessee. One of his guitars and a case are on display at the Guitar Center in Roseville. You can try an email at Jimmie's web site for information about what SRV gear he maintains. Thanks for the great question! Regards, George
