Notes
Studio recording, 2012-2013 for Random Access Memories. No direct evidence for exact guitar/amp, but Stratocaster and JC-120 are strongly associated with Daft Punk's studio tones for this era and song style. No evidence of live-specific gear for the solo.

Difficulty
The solo requires intermediate technique due to the use of multiple modulation effects, octave phrasing, and expressive bends, but does not demand advanced speed or complex fingerings.
