Notes

Studio recording, 2005-2006 era. For 'Far Away' riff section, PRS Hollowbody was used for the main clean electric part, running into a Fender Super 60 for clean tones. The Les Paul with piezo is also mentioned as used live, but PRS Hollowbody is specifically cited for this song in the studio context.
