From Lost on You (2026). Lost on You is the seventh studio album by the American rock band Tigers Jaw. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster through a Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue, the nearest rig we use for Tigers Jaw's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
