I've been obsessing over the acoustic guitar in R.E.M.'s Everybody Hurts (and Automatic for the People in general). Light, sweet, not piercing, percussive without being grating...almost like the world's most beautiful egg shaker. For a rock acoustic tone, this seems like a 10/10. So, how would you go about replicating it? music.youtube.com/watch?v=tKRznjaIIyw&si=Hges9vL6s8ulBx3O |

You sure that arpegiated thing is an acoustic?

You sure that arpegiated thing is an acoustic? Good clarification. Acoustic comes in for the B part, roughly :45 seconds in. |

If you’re talking about the acoustic guitar that comes in strumming in the pre chorus, then I’d say something like a km83/84, a nice guitar, and good playing will suffice.
During the verses, I think the arpeggiated part is layered. I’m thinking clean electric and harpsichord? There might be an acoustic in there. I’m not on monitors so it’s hard to tell.

peter buck used a rickenbacker 360 and the arpeggio part jangles like one. the acoustic part yeah, a martin or any gibson will do ;-)

That's pretty buried...I'd imagine any in-tune acoustic would suffice.
