Notes

Studio recording, 2004. All sources confirm the use of the Les Paul Special Double Cutaway with P-90s and the Fender Supersonic 60w Head for the main riff on 'Rewrite'. No evidence of additional pedals for the riff section; overdrive/distortion is primarily from the amp. No evidence of live/tour gear being used in the studio for this recording.
