From Razorlight (2006). Razorlight is the second studio album by English indie rock band Razorlight. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Vox AC30 C2, the rig we use for Razorlight's other songs from Razorlight, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
