From Every Second Counts (2006). Every Second Counts is the fourth studio album by American rock band Plain White T's, released on September 12, 2006. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson SG Standard through a Marshall DSL40CR, the rig we use for Plain White T's' other songs from Every Second Counts, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
