From Raise (1991). A swirling, fuzzy shoegaze-rock song with loud, effects-heavy guitars. No source available here confirms the exact guitar and amp on this recording, so a Fender American Original 60s Jazzmaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue stands in. Set the amp at a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Tuning isn't documented here.
