From Pocketful of Sunshine (2008). Pocketful of Sunshine is the North American and regional reissue of British singer Natasha Bedingfield's second studio album, N.B. (2007). No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, a common rig for this kind of sound, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
