From Zion (2013). Zion is the third studio album by Australian contemporary worship music band Hillsong United, released on 22 February 2013 by Hillsong Music, Sparrow Records and BMG Rights Management. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Vox AC30HW2X Hand-Wired, the rig we use for Hillsong United's other songs from Zion, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck pickup.
