From World World World (2008). World World World is an album by the Japanese rock band Asian Kung-Fu Generation, released on 5 March 2008 by Ki/oon. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue (Custom Shop) through a Bogner Ecstasy 101B, the rig we use for ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION's other songs from World World World, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
