From Dig Me Out (1997). A tense post-punk song built on interlocking guitars. No source available here confirms the exact guitar and amp on this recording, so a Danelectro '59M NOS+ through a Marshall JCM800 2203 stands in. Set the amp at a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Tuning isn't documented here.
