From Illinois (2015). Illinois is the second studio album by the American country singer Brett Eldredge, released on 11 September 2015 by Atlantic Nashville. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, a common rig for this kind of sound, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
