From Pioneer (2013). Pioneer is the second studio album by the American country group The Band Perry, released on 2 April 2013 by Republic Nashville. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue, a common rig for this kind of sound, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
