From Say Hello to Sunshine (2005). Say Hello to Sunshine is the second studio album by American rock band Finch. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Eclipse through a Marshall JCM2000 TSL100, the rig we use for Finch's other songs from Say Hello to Sunshine, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
