From Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga (2007). Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga is sixth studio album by American rock band Spoon, released on 10 July 2007 by Merge. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Vox AC30HW2X Hand-Wired, the rig we use for Spoon's other songs from Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
