From Where Myth Fades to Legend (2008). Where Myth Fades to Legend is the second full-length studio album by Alesana, released through Fearless Records on June 3, 2008. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Studio through a Peavey 5150 II, the rig we use for Alesana's other songs from Where Myth Fades to Legend, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop D.
