From We Are Chaos (2020). We Are Chaos is the eleventh studio album by American rock band Marilyn Manson. Wikipedia's article on the album says Shooter Jennings, who co-produced it, played mostly a black Gibson SG, with a reconstructed white 1963 SG and Manson's own Airliner guitar also used. It does not say which was used on this song, so a Gibson SG Standard through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the rig we use for Marilyn Manson's other songs from We Are Chaos, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
