I can't be bothered to save the image and flip it, but could this be a neck-thru strat?

Rare is not the same as valuable
Worth is what someone will pay, not what you want to get

Here is the description and pics of the necthru strat custom made for Stevie:
Main
Main (also known as Hamiltone or the "Couldn't Stand the Weather" guitar) was a custom Fender Stratocaster-style guitar made for Vaughan by James Hamiltone in Buffalo, NY. It was presented to Vaughan by James as a gift from ZZ Top guitarist, Billy Gibbons on April 29, 1984.
The guitar was originally set to be made for Stevie in 1979, but the plan was dropped when Vaughan started using his middle name "Ray", as he was known as "Stevie Vaughan" at the time.
This guitar features a two-piece maple body and a "neck-through body" design. It also originally had EMG preamped pickups, but Vaughan didn't like the pickups in it. His next music video was about to be made, which was "Couldn't Stand the Weather", and didn't want to get Number One wet during filming, as this would've ruined the original 1959 pickups. So he used this guitar for filming.
Its fingerboard is ebony with a mother-of-pearl inlay that read "Stevie Ray Vaughan".
"Main" had a jangly, jazzy-type tone and was usually played on "Cold Shot" or "Couldn't Stand the Weather".
