From The Neon God: Part 1 – The Rise (2004). The Neon God: Part 1 – The Rise, is the eleventh studio album and the first act of a two-part rock opera by the American heavy metal band W.A.S.P. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Charvel Pro-Mod So-Cal Style 1 HH FR through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig we use for W.A.S.P.'s other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
