From Seventeen Going Under (2021). An emotional, mid-tempo rock song with clean-to-crunchy electric guitar. Guitar World reports that Sam Fender bought his 1959 Jazzmaster only after Seventeen Going Under came out, and no source available here gives the guitar or amp for this recording. So a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue stands in. Set the amp on the edge of breakup and use the bridge pickup. Tuning isn't documented here.
