Curious about the instrument playing at the beginning of a song

Does anyone know if the instrument playing at the beginning of this song, “Spill The Blood” by Slayer, is a harpsichord or rather some sort of electric keyboard that sounds to me like a harpsichord?

It’s not super-important for me to know, but Google search results weren’t of much help, so I thought I’d ask on the Community in case there are more Slayer fans or people who are more familiar with harpsichord timbres who might know the answer.

Yeah, to me it sounds like the : resonator guitar

The sounds is a little louder than the acoustic guitar and not so "metal" like the guitar.

Thank you, @Babyodaa! I hadn't considered that it could be a type of guitar, rather than a keyboard instrument, that plays this introduction to the song, but now that I'm re-listening to the song, I can definitely hear how that may be the case. Cheers!
