Notes

Studio recording, circa 2017-2018. No direct source confirms the exact Telecaster model, but live and studio photos, as well as genre/era, strongly support Telecaster with single-coils. Amp confirmed by multiple interviews as Kody West's main studio and live amp. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for the solo section.
