From Take This to Your Grave (2003). Take This to Your Grave is the debut studio album by the American rock band Fall Out Boy, released on May 6, 2003, by Fueled by Ramen. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Studio through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Fall Out Boy's other songs from Take This to Your Grave, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
