From dead stock (2011). Dead Stock (stylized as dead stock) is the sixth studio album by Japanese visual kei rock band SID, released on February 23, 2011, by Ki/oon Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for SID's other songs from Dead Stock, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
