Studio recording for 'Phobia' (2006). Clean sections, including the solo, are played with the Randall RM50 using the Blackface clean module. Guitar is a PRS Custom 24, as confirmed by multiple sources for this era. Pickup selection likely neck or neck+middle for warmth. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars for the clean solo.
