From Wander This World (1998). Wander This World is the third studio album by American blues guitarist Jonny Lang, released on 20 October 1998 by A&M Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Custom Shop 1969 Telecaster Thinline Heavy Relic through a Fender '65 Super Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Jonny Lang's other songs from Wander This World, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

Can I play "Second Guessing" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Second Guessing" tone on a Katana, a Helix, a tube combo, or anything else. The translation accounts for EQ curve, gain structure, and pickup type so the result actually sounds like the record, not just the same knob numbers on different gear.
