SRV's Yellow Strat

I just noticed there is another SRV thread, but oh well.
Does anyone have/know where to find info about this guitar? It looks to be a one pickup strat and I can't fid much else about it. Here's a video of him using it. Thanks.

"Yellow" - 1964 Strat, single pickup, originally owned by Vanilla Fudge guitarist, received as gift from Charley Wirz in 1981.

Charlie Wirz told me that "Yellow" was sporting 4 full-size humbuckers when he received it & was largely hollow underneath the pickguard. Charlie said that it had a somewhat unique tone that he attributed to the "olympic size pool" routing job.
