From Airbourne (2026). Airbourne is the sixth studio album by Australian hard rock band Airbourne. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson SG Standard through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Airbourne's other songs from Airbourne, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
