Sounds like an Emmons guitar to me. Jay Dee or Buddy, maybe?

Also, check out the strange sitar-ish part. Danelectro?

Sounds like Sneaky Pete to me. Might be poor YouTube quality, or overall poor mix. Might be product of the times.

Red Rhodes.

I was thinking Red, too, but have no proof. Definitely not Sneaky or JayDee. By the way, this woman was Hazelwood’s girlfriend and the one who “produced“ Gram Parsons’ International Submarine Band record.

Love the electric sitar riffs.

The sitar + steel harmonies got me wondering if the sitar was actually a sitar bar on steel. It's more likely a Danelectro electric sitar but who knows?

Not hearing any pedal moves on the sitar-ish stuff, so i'd guess definitely not pedal steel. I agree with Steve on the player, the phrasing early in the song on is typical Red Rhodes stuff.
Back in the '60s when I was playing straight guitar in a rock band, I'd fake the sitar-sound by taking a piece of cut-off guitar string and inserting that (over-and-under fashion) through the strings near the bridge of the guitar. When you don't have the real thing, you have to be inventive.
