  2. What guitar was used on Hold Me Down?

    The Telecaster (modern equivalent: Fender American Professional II Telecaster) appears on the most Hold Me Down tracks in our catalog. You don't need one - the settings are calibrated to the recorded tone, so they translate to the guitar you already have.
