From Self Entitled (2012). Self Entitled is the twelfth studio album by the American punk rock band NOFX. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for NOFX's other songs from Self Entitled, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
