From Caustic Love (2014). Caustic Love is the third studio album by Scottish singer-songwriter Paolo Nutini, released on 14 April 2014 by Atlantic Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Paolo Nutini's other songs from Caustic Love, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
