From Happy Endings (2017). Happy Endings is the second studio album by American country music band Old Dominion, released on August 25, 2017 by RCA Nashville. 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 rig we use for Old Dominion's other songs from Happy Endings, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
