Original Gear

Guitar

Fender American Standard Stratocaster (SSS, circa 2012-2016) — estimated; Telecaster is a plausible alternate

Pickups

Stock Fender Custom Shop Fat '50s or American Standard single-coils (estimated) (neck+middle)

Amplifier

Vox AC30 Custom (30W, 2x12 Celestion Greenback/Blue) — estimated; Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb reissue is a plausible alternate, and a Line 6 Helix or Kemper Profiler modeler is a realistic studio-DI option for a 2016 church recording

Channel

Top Boost / Normal channel, clean-to-edge-of-breakup

Tuning

standard (E A D G B E), likely capo 2 or 4 for open-voicing anthem keys (B or A major)

Pickup Selector

neck+middle

Strings

Unknown (likely 0.010-0.046 Ernie Ball Regular Slinky or D'Addario EXL110 — genre-standard)

Most small-church worship recordings in 2015-2016 tracked through either a low-wattage tube combo miked with an SM57/e906 OR through a digital modeler direct to DAW for flexibility. No documentation exists for this specific session.

Playing Technique

Pick (medium.73-.88mm), fingerpicked arpeggios and rhythmic palm-muted eighth-note patterns in verses locked to dotted-eighth delay; open strumming with suspended 2/4 voicings in choruses; volume-pedal swells and held ambient chords in the bridge. Tempo ~92-100 BPM, 4/4 time signature, key likely B or A major. Light dynamics in verses building to full strum attack in choruses.
