From Skin Deep (2008). Skin Deep is the 14th studio album by blues musician Buddy Guy, released in 2008. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Fender '59 Bassman LTD Reissue, the rig we use for Buddy Guy's other songs from Skin Deep, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the middle and bridge pickups together.
