From Last Look at Eden (2009). Last Look at Eden is a studio album by the Swedish rock band Europe, released on 9 September 2009 by earMusic. The album's personnel list credits John Norum with guitars. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Europe's other songs from Last Look at Eden, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
