From Mr. Saturday Night (2022). Mr. Saturday Night is a 2022 studio album by Jon Pardi. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Custom Shop 1956 Telecaster Heavy Relic through a Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue, the nearest rig we use for Jon Pardi's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
