From Bleeds (2025). Bleeds is the sixth studio album by American rock band Wednesday, released on September 19, 2025, on Dead Oceans. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster through a Vox AC30 C2, the rig we use for Wednesday's other songs from Bleeds, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop D.
