From 3 Doors Down (2008). 3 Doors Down is a studio album by the American rock band 3 Doors Down, released on 20 May 2008 by Universal Republic Records. The album's personnel list credits Matt Roberts on lead guitar and Chris Henderson on rhythm guitar. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Marshall JCM2000 DSL100, the rig we use for 3 Doors Down's other songs from 3 Doors Down, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
