From Muzai Moratorium (1999). Muzai Moratorium (無罪モラトリアム), also known as Innocence Moratorium, is the debut studio album by Japanese singer-songwriter Ringo Sheena, released on February 24, 1999, through Toshiba EMI and Eastworld. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Ringo Sheena's other songs from Muzai Moratorium, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
