From Francis Trouble (2018). Francis Trouble is the fourth solo album by Albert Hammond Jr. released on March 9, 2018, through Red Bull Records. 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.
