From Momentary Masters (2015). Momentary Masters is the third solo studio album by American musician Albert Hammond Jr. released on July 31, 2015. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster through a Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue, a jangly clean-to-light-crunch indie pairing, stands in. Keep the amp clean, just at the edge of breakup, and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
