From Hai paura del buio? (1997). Hai paura del buio? is the fourth studio album by the Italian alternative rock band Afterhours, released in 1997 by Mescal Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Vintage II 1966 Jazzmaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig we use for Afterhours' other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
