From The Truth About Love (2012). The Truth About Love is the sixth studio album by American singer-songwriter Pink. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall JCM2000 DSL100, the rig we use for P!nk's other songs from The Truth About Love, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
