From Rebel, Sweetheart (2005). Rebel, Sweetheart is the fifth studio album by American rock band the Wallflowers, released on May 24, 2005, by Interscope Records. 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 nearest rig we use for The Wallflowers' other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
