From Gold Plated (1976). Gold Plated is a 1976 album by the Climax Blues Band, released in October 1976; it became their highest-selling album in both the UK and the US. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson ES-335 through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Climax Blues Band's other songs from Gold Plated, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck pickup.
