From JPEG RAW (2024). JPEG RAW is the fourth studio album by the American blues rock musician Gary Clark Jr., released on 22 March 2024 by Warner Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an Epiphone Casino through a Fender Vibro-King Custom, the rig we use for Gary Clark Jr.'s other songs from JPEG RAW, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck pickup.
