From Outlaws Like Me (2011). Outlaws Like Me is the second studio album by American country music artist Justin Moore. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Justin Moore's other songs from Outlaws Like Me, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
