From Message (2001). Message (stylized all caps) is the second album released on September 16, 2001 by the Okinawa band Mongol800 via High Wave and Tissue Freak Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203, a driven punk-rock pairing, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
