From Frisbee (2002). Frisbee is a studio album by the Venezuelan rock band Caramelos de Cianuro, released on 19 March 2002 by Latin World. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster through a Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Caramelos de Cianuro's other songs from Frisbee, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
