From ...Is a Real Boy (2004). ...Is a Real Boy is the second studio album by American rock band Say Anything, released on August 3, 2004. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Player Stratocaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Say Anything's other songs from..Is a Real Boy, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
