From School Girl Distortional Addict (1999). School Girl Distortional Addict is the second studio album by Japanese rock band Number Girl, released on July 23, 1999. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Number Girl's other songs from School Girl Distortional Addict, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
