From Ahi Vamos (2006). Ahi Vamos is a 2006 studio album by Argentine rock musician Gustavo Cerati, released on 4 April 2006 by Sony BMG. The album's personnel list credits Gustavo Cerati on lead guitar and Richard Coleman with guitar and effects. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Vox AC30 C2, the rig we use for Gustavo Cerati's other songs from Ahi Vamos, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck+middle pickups together. Standard tuning.
