This is the first video in a two-part series. In this video, I describe in detail the different parts that make up a Stratocaster that I used in one of the promotional videos for the Analog Alien FuzzBubble-45. The video is called, "The FuzzBubble-45, Unleashed". The start is not a stock Fender. It has been modified heavily by me in order to get a tone similar to the one SRV got with his #1 Strat. The Body is a 2005 Eric Johnson with a purr nitro finish. The neck is made by Warmoth. I bought it back in the mid 80's. The pickups are a set of hand wound Sliders model 59-SRV and sound killer.
Just as important as anything the guitar is made of are the strings that you put on it. I used a set of GHS 1300's to get that SVR tone. This is the same set that Stevie used on his Stratocasters.
For more information about the guitars, amps and other equipment that I use, and to get my secret tip on how you can get a killer guitar sound while you improve your playing technique at the same time, visit the Analog Alien web site and sign up for the fuzzZone. It's fun, it's informative, and best of all, it's FREE!
