FZ plays also acoustic guitar on "It Just Might Be A One Shot Deal".
BTW, I think those "acoustic wah" sounding guitars (Aybe Sea, Toads, Blessed Relief and more recently, "Läther" aka "Cum In Your Mouth") are in fact highly likely electric guitars through wah pedals that are specifically recorded to sound more "acoustic". I could swear someone once posted about a dude who could successfully replicate the "Grand Wazoo" pseudo-acoustic solo with an electric, but I don't remember what trickery was used.
EDIT: Found the instruction how to mimic the GW guitar solo sound, too bad the file is dead now.

The trick is pretty simple. Pick your ELECTRIC guitar, plug it in a clean amp (when I say "clean amp" I mean on the "clean chanel", mine is a crappy Behringer, no hi-end gear). Of course don't forget to plug the crappiest wah-wah you'll find between the guitar and the amp. Mine is a basic Cry-Baby (not vintage at all). Mike the amp.
Then, take another mike (condenser if you can) far enough from the amp so this other mike won't pick the amp sound too much. Use this second mike to pick the sound of the guitar strings (like you'd do with an acoustic).
Plug the mikes in two separate inputs of your favorite recording gear (duh !!)
Then, send the result in a Leslie Cab (you can find good freeware plugin simulation on every corner of the net) and add a bit of reverb ...
It's better if you can do it with a hollowbody (Gibson style) guitar, so the sound picked by the condenser mike near the guitar is more "acoustic". But I tried it on a strat, it works too.
For "live only" geeks, sorry, this trick is studio-oriented only ...
Well, studio-orientation it may well be, but is the "Cum In Your Mouth" solo done live or overdubbed? If it's live, then FZ must've found a way to replicate this sound onstage, or maybe he knew a way how to manipulate a live guitar track into sounding "acoustic"?
