Fluorescent Adolescent

Alex Turner uses a clean-to-slightly-overdriven Vox for the choppy, rhythmic riff. Jangly and energetic.

The song’s bright guitar sound comes from the *Favourite Worst Nightmare* Selmer era, with the Zodiac Twin 30 and Selmer 30SS documented in the recording setup. Turner’s Fender Bronco and TS808 provide a credible clean-to-overdrive reconstruction, although the exact song-specific guitar and knob positions were not published. Settings approximated from the documented rig. Source: Equipboard’s Fluorescent Adolescent gear page and Alex Turner equipment archive.
