From Port Saint Joe (2018). Port Saint Joe is the second studio album by American country music duo Brothers Osborne. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Custom Shop 1953 Telecaster Heavy Relic through a Fender '57 Custom Deluxe, the rig we use for Brothers Osborne's other songs from Port Saint Joe, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
