From This Will Destroy You (2008). This Will Destroy You is the second studio album by American avant-rock band This Will Destroy You. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for This Will Destroy You's other songs from This Will Destroy You, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck pickup. Standard tuning.
