From Wide Mouth Mason (1997). Wide Mouth Mason is the second studio album by the Canadian blues rock band Wide Mouth Mason and the first on a major label, released in Canada on 25 March 1997. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, a common rig for this kind of sound, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
