Notes
Studio recording, 2024, From Zero album. Gear inferred from Premier Guitar rig rundown and MusicRadar pedal interview. No explicit confirmation of solo-specific guitar, but PRS Custom 24 is the most likely based on era and rig photos.

Difficulty
The solo requires intermediate technique, with precise bends, vibrato, and dynamic control to maintain clarity and sustain under high gain. Not overly fast, but demands accuracy and expressive phrasing.
