From 25-y Kadr (2001). 25-y Kadr is a 2001 studio album by the Russian rock band Splin, released on 25 March 2001. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Vox AC30 C2, a jangly mid-gain alternative-rock pairing, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
