Studio recording, 2023. All evidence and covers indicate the main riff is played on a steel-string acoustic guitar (Guild F-55). No evidence of electric guitar or amp for the main riff in the studio version. Live, she sometimes uses a pedalboard, but for the studio version, the tone is pure acoustic.
