From Eto Ne Lyubov' (1985). Eto Ne Lyubov' (This Is Not Love) is a 1985 studio album by the Soviet rock band Kino. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Yamaha SG1000 through a Roland JC-120 Jazz Chorus, the nearest rig we use for Kino's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
