From So Wrong, It's Right (2007). So Wrong, It's Right is the second studio album by American rock band All Time Low, released on 25 September 2007 by Hopeless Records. The album's personnel list credits Alex Gaskarth and Jack Barakat with guitar. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Mesa Boogie Mark V, the rig we use for All Time Low's other songs from So Wrong, It's Right, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop D.
