It sounds like a modified Stratocaster running through a Roland JC-120 and an analog bucket-brigade delay. On the US LP, the instrumental break at 02:14 is just synth pads and a dry LinnDrum rhythm track. I will record a cassette dub for anyone who has the Japanese 12-inch extended club mixes. -- Astrid Martínez *PLONK* filter active for trolls.

YES! The Mexican mix is so much more energetic. That guitar tone has that raw 80s Rock en Español bite. -- Diego Popov "Do not worship the copy." Macintosh IIfx / FreeBSD 2.1
