Notes
Studio recording for 'Hot Fuss' (2003-2004). Guitarist Dave Keuning is widely documented using a Fender Stratocaster and Fender Hot Rod DeVille for the album. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for the clean solo section. No pedalboard or effect pedal evidence for the clean solo section.
