From Despedazado por Mil Partes (1996). Despedazado por Mil Partes is a 1996 studio album by the Argentine rock band La Renga, released by PolyGram. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '50s through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for La Renga's other songs from Despedazado por Mil Partes, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
