OK Computer Lullaby Glass — Capoed Acoustic & High-Register Rickenbacker
The record's defining bell-like melody is a real glockenspiel rather than a processed guitar. For a guitar-oriented recreation, Yorke's capo-three acoustic supplies the chord bed while O'Brien's capo-15 Rickenbacker and delay create a delicate high-register layer. These chains follow the documented live arrangement, with numerical settings approximated. Source: The King of Gear's No Surprises and glockenspiel documentation.

Notes
Do not try to replace the glockenspiel completely with a bright guitar. Keep the capo-15 electric extremely quiet and use it only as a supporting shimmer.
