From This One's Gonna Hurt You (1992). This One's Gonna Hurt You is the sixth studio album by American country music artist Marty Stuart, released on July 7, 1992, by MCA Nashville. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Vintage II 1963 Telecaster through a Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue, the nearest rig we use for Marty Stuart's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
