From Dating Gawi (2015). Dating Gawi is a studio album by the Filipino rock musician Rico Blanco, released on 27 November 2015 by Universal Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, a common rig for this kind of sound, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
