From Room With a View (1980). Room With a View is a studio album by Player. 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, the nearest rig we use for Player's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck pickup.
