From No Guts. No Glory. (2010). No Guts. No Glory. is a 2010 studio album by Airbourne. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Explorer through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Airbourne's other songs from No Guts. No Glory., stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
