René: I don't think Keith plays an acoustic on this one. Listen to his lead break, as well as all the licks in there.

The lead break is Brian on electric slide. The licks are mainly Brian's electric slide (the call) and Bill's bass (the response), with Brian being much more prominent. Keith just plays acoustic. Rene's got it right.

Err, there are two lead breaks. The first one is Keith playing sixteens on the D-string. The other ones ("sting it...") is Brian on slide. I can´t hear an acoustic on this one at all.

Yeah, you're right about the two breaks. But it sounds like Brian on both on the same guitar, which might be an acoustic as well. Keith's acoustic twangs away in the background, similar to what he does on Little Red Rooster. On the ABKCO remasters, Keith's acoustic can clearly be heard. So my final take on this is Brian and Keith both playing acoustic guitars.
