Why these settings

Your Squier Bullet Strat with single coils is actually closer to the Teisco's bright, thin character than a humbucker guitar would be — this is a good match. The Spark's American Clean model replicates the Fender clean platform Eyedress likely used. Position 4 (neck+middle) gives you that quacky, hollow jangle without being too bright. Roll tone to 7 to tame any harshness from the Bullet's ceramic pickups.

PRO TIPThe magic of this riff is in the right-hand attack — play with a loose wrist and let the pick glide across the strings with minimal pressure. The lo-fi vibe comes from sounding slightly imperfect and human, not from gear. Palm mute very lightly on the low strings during the verse to keep the bass frequencies from getting muddy with all that reverb and delay.
