I think it's two discreet tracks. I guess George was just good at doubling his own parts. During the bridge the parts diverge. I've got an early mix of the instrumental track of the released version with only one George track, so it's easy to hear what was added to finish the released version.
In my opinion he used the Gretsch Tennessean, into a Fender Showman amp for the main riff. The compressed tone in the bridge, the part where they go to B, is in my opinion a Strat through a white Bassman. In the background, you can hear the Tennessean playing a B scale with a volume pedal.
Oddly, the part of that song I find most difficult to duplicate is Lennon's rhythm.
