Buzz Osborne, also known as King Buzzo, confirms in an interview with Guitar.com that he used a Fender Mustang Electric Guitar on the song "Revolve" from the album Stoner Witch. He clarifies, “People just have weird perceptions. They come up to me and tell me they like the Les Paul sound on Stoner Witch... They’ll go, 'Oh the Les Paul sound on the song Revolve.' Well, that was a Jackson and a Mustang, and I played the solo on a Stratocaster. Totally wrong. I love that stuff, though.” This statement was made during an interview conducted by Chris Schwarten for Guitar.com.
