From Gyllene Tider (1980). Gyllene Tider was released on 18 February 1980 and is the debut studio album by Swedish pop group Gyllene Tider. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, a bright, clean pop-rock pairing, stands in. Keep the amp clean, just at the edge of breakup, and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
