It's acoustic for sure, although a darned good-sounding one. The giveaway is
the complete lack of deep bass. I'm sure a spectral analysis (which I
haven't done yet) will confirm it.

(I don't know what this recording has to do with Henry Ford's insincere
retraction, unless Mr Friedman was simply giving some historical
perspective.)
