From 17 RE (1986). 17 RE is the second full-length studio album by the Italian rock band Litfiba, released in 1986 by I.R.A. Records. The album's personnel list credits Ghigo Renzulli with guitars. 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 Litfiba's other songs from 17 RE, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
