Notes
Studio recording, 1967. John Lennon's J-160E (electric-acoustic with P90) was used for the main riff section. The amp is most likely the Vox 7120 hybrid, as used by The Beatles in this era. No evidence of additional pedals for the riff section; fuzz was used for the solo/fills, not the main riff. Flatwound Pyramid Gold strings (.012-.052) likely used. Pickup selector set to neck (only option on J-160E).
