Notes

Studio recording, original album version (1982). Yamaha SG-2000 was Masahiro Andoh's main guitar for T-SQUARE in this era. The Roland JC-120 is widely documented as his primary amp for clean and lead tones in the early 1980s studio work. No direct evidence of other amps or guitars for this solo.
