Holy fuck this setup is nuts. And I never knew Josh played with PJ Harvey. Cool.

I’m watching a Jimi Hendrix documentary on Netflix and then all of a sudden this song popped in my head. Pretty cool.

James Wilsey and Four Fender Stratocasters
James Wilsey posted this on his Facebook page yesterday. Pretty cool!
All of the Stratocasters I used in over 13 years playing with Chris Isaak.
I started with the black one, it’s a 1966 I purchased in Missouri for $200. When we got a record out and started to tour, I got the sunburst 50s made in Fullerton. They never quite matched very well sound wise, the sunburst was always darker sounding.
In 1987 I decided to retire those and go with a matching pair of reissues. I talked to my friends at Fender and had them hold the next two white 62 reissues. I got them to be less concerned about wear and tear (and potential loss) I’d be facing on the road again. And I wanted two that matched better sound wise, and might as well match the color too.
I went down to Fullerton and picked them up in the warehouse, it was a fun day. The guitars were really nice and sounded great. I could not tell them apart. In the studio, I did a A/B test of the new guitars against the old ones. The new ones sounded better by unanimous vote.
I recorded the next album with the new white guitars, “Wicked Game” used one of them, not sure which.
