From Coming Home (2006). Coming Home is the fifth studio album by American rock band New Found Glory. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Mesa Boogie Mark V, the nearest rig we use for New Found Glory's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
