From Retired from Sad, New Career in Business (2013). Retired from Sad, New Career in Business is the second studio album by American musician Mitski. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster through a Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue, the nearest rig we use for Mitski's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
