From Snipe Hunter (2025). Snipe Hunter is the seventh studio album by American country musician Tyler Childers, released on July 25, 2025, via Hickman Holler Records and RCA Records. 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, the nearest rig we use for Tyler Childers' other songs, stands in. Keep the amp clean, just at the edge of breakup, and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
