From Five Score and Seven Years Ago (2007). Five Score and Seven Years Ago is the fifth studio album by Christian rock band Relient K. It was released on March 6, 2007, and is the band's final album on both Capitol Records and Gotee Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Relient K's other songs from Five Score and Seven Years Ago, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
