From Old Dominion (2019). Old Dominion is the third studio album by American country music band Old Dominion. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Vox AC30HW2X Hand-Wired, the nearest rig we use for Old Dominion's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
