Notes

Studio recording, 2018 (album release year). Daron Malakian has stated he used his 1968 Gibson ES-335 and Friedman-modded Marshall JMP100 for Scars on Broadway recordings, with minimal layering and a focus on capturing the guitar's natural tone. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars for this specific clean section.
