Stefan can be seen throughout many shots of the video playing a faded TV yellow double cut les paul. It is not a junior size model because it has a wider pick guard. It looks all stock with the same black soapbar pickups as well.

Stefan Babcock began utilizing the Bartlett Electric Parlor following the release of PUP's 2020 EP: This Place Sucks Ass. Babcock had the Electric Parlor custom built to resemble his typical Les Paul that can be spotted in most of PUP's older performances. He uses the Parlor for heavier presence on the lower tunings that make up "This Place Sucks Ass".

This amp head also clearly sits atop a Orange 4x12 which can be seen through by the amps speaker impression and where the mic is placed.
