From Peperina (1981). Peperina is the fourth studio album by the Argentine rock group Serú Girán, released on 31 August 1981 by SG Discos. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Vintera '60s Stratocaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Serú Girán's other songs from Peperina, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck pickup.
