Studio recording, 1971. The solo section is played on a Martin D-28 acoustic guitar, mic'd in the studio. No evidence of electric guitar, amp, or pedals on the original version. No live rig or alternate guitar for the solo. No pickup selector as this is a pure acoustic. No evidence of DI or piezo pickup in 1971 studio context.
