The Nightswan was given to Jan by Kramer when on tour in the US with Zodiac Mindwarp (who were supporting Guns and Roses on the' Appetite for Destruction' Stadium tour). The Amp is a Cornford Roadhouse 30 as displayed at the end of the film.

He's rather good isn't he.

@Razorc195 Actually, you've got it the wrong way around. This song is from the Jan Cyrka album "Spirit" which was released in 1995/97 and Supernatural (Which El Farol is featured on) was released in 1999.

@guitarralaraja

He's using the Bridge pickup all the way through. It's a PRS HFS humbucker. Cheers!
