From Life's Not Out to Get You (2015). Life's Not out to Get You is the second studio album by Welsh pop punk band Neck Deep. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Player II Jazzmaster through an Orange Rockerverb 50 MkIII, the rig we use for Neck Deep's other songs from Life's Not out to Get You, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop C (C G C F A D).
