There could be quite a few there...96 though...not sure. He would have had to have 'bounced' things a few times (mixing several tracks together onto a single track), which would have made things lose definition (less treble, more wooly sounding). That might mean there are actually more than it sounds like (some being hidden in the background as nothing much more than a fuzzy mush).
Of course, double tracking several guitars playing the same melody at the same pitch would make it sound like less guitars than there really are, although it would sound a bit 'bigger'.
There is an organ in there as well - it comes in at the bit where the guitars take up that theme from TB (that's at somewhere around 12 minutes in). It plays that little melody over the top of it. It also comes back somewhere before the 15 minute mark. Listening to a copy of the original mix, there are also some female voices in various parts (just ooohs and aahs).
There's a great thing I've noticed right near the end of the thunderstorm section as well. In the background, towards the right hand side (on the remix at least) there's a guitar that bends in pitch interestingly (I think you can only hear this on the remix properly)...it sounds a bit like heavy use of a guitar's tremolo arm, but I think it's actually a guitar that's been recorded to tape and 'scrubbed' over the tape heads (I hope I don't spark off a huge discussion with this...). It's a bit like a DJ 'scratching' records really...who said Mike's links with dance music were anything new?
