From Light Me Up (2010). Light Me Up is a studio album by the American rock band the Pretty Reckless, released on 27 August 2010 by Interscope Records. The album's personnel list credits Ben Phillips with guitar. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for The Pretty Reckless' other songs from Light Me Up, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
