From Be the Cowboy (2018). Be the Cowboy is the fifth studio album by American musician and singer-songwriter Mitski, released on August 17, 2018, through Dead Oceans. 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 rig we use for Mitski's other songs from Be the Cowboy, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
