Early Art-School Scrape — Selmer Rhythm & Jagged Counterline
The early single belongs to the same lean dual-guitar language later captured on the debut: sparse melodic parts, hard attack and very little low-frequency weight. No song-specific equipment log survives, so the Telecaster/Hagström assignments and controls are representative settings approximated from the documented Selmer and Bassman rig.
