Original Recording

Guitar
1953 Fender Telecaster (blackguard)
Pickups
Fender single-coil (vintage Telecaster bridge and neck pickups)
Amp
Fender Deluxe Reverb (likely silverface or blackface, era-appropriate for 1992 studio recording; exact model not explicitly confirmed, but consistent with Vince Gill's studio rig and genre)
Pickup Position
Bridge pickup

Studio recording, 1992. Vince Gill used his blackguard 1953 Fender Telecaster for the solo on the original studio recording of 'One More Last Chance.' Amp is not explicitly named for this track, but period interviews and genre context point to a Fender Deluxe Reverb or similar clean Fender combo. Pedals are used sparingly, with compression and clean boost being most likely. Effects are subtle and in service of a clean, articulate country solo tone.
