From Down by the Jetty (1975). Down by the Jetty is the debut album by English rock band Dr. Feelgood, released in January 1975. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Vintage II 1963 Telecaster through a Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Dr. Feelgood's other songs from Down by the Jetty, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
