From Mondovisione (2013). Mondovisione is the eleventh studio album by Italian singer-songwriter Luciano Ligabue, released on 26 November 2013 by Zoo Aperto. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Ligabue's other songs from Mondovisione, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
