From It Won't Be Soon Before Long (2007). It Won't Be Soon Before Long is the second studio album by American pop rock band Maroon 5. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Custom Shop 1972 Telecaster Custom Relic through a Divided by 13 FTR 37, the rig we use for Maroon 5's other songs from It Won't Be Soon Before Long, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in E♭ standard (E♭ A♭ D♭ G♭ B♭ E♭), a half step below standard.
