From Nugent (1982). Nugent is the seventh studio album by the American hard rock musician Ted Nugent, released on 17 June 1982 by Atlantic Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Byrdland through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the nearest rig we use for Ted Nugent's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
