From Musim Yang Baik (2014). Musim Yang Baik is the eighth studio album by Indonesian pop group, Sheila On 7. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Vintage '52 Telecaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig we use for Sheila on 7's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
