Excellent song/track, one of my favs. All round aceness!!!
The guitars are all by Keith and a mighty fine job he did too!
Brian, most likely, didn't play on it. I think this is the only track from the album on which he doesn't play.

Some sites credit both Keith and Brian on acoustic, but I'm not sure if that's correct..

I think that's wrong...
There's nothing to suggest Brian played acoustic on it, or better to say I have yet to see a quote or any hint from those involved suggesting Brian played acoustic guitar on 2000 Man.
The Satanic Sessions tell us he wasn't there during the recording of the basic backing track. Recorded in sections, Brian isn't on any of them or heard in the studio chatter.
...
It might be relevant that during the session for The Lantern, on which he plays acoustic for a few takes before moving to hammond organ, we hear that Brian was having problems fretting notes solidly on acoustic guitar.
...
I haven't sat and played along for quite some time, but perhaps there is only one acoustic on 2000 Man?
We know, thanks to The Satanic Sessions box sets, that the acoustic(s) was overdubbed. During the basic backing track recording Keith played a basic electric part for the first section with full knowledge that it would be replaced. We hear an exchange between Glyn and Keith letting us know this was the case.
The guitars all sound very strong and Keith like. Nothing sounding particularly Brianesque.

I agree, and it sounds like there is only one acoustic on it.

The intro has puzzled me for years, can't seem to play it just so.

Play the D-chord/formation with two fingers only. Add to the melody by using your pinky. Do that for the A-parts as well. It works here

Got the essentials, but there's something about little bits of it, the sliding notes on E chord for example, that make we wonder if there are two acoustics for intro.

Average tune, imo.
Kiss did a better version on their Dynasty-album in 1979. Back in 1980 I´ve stolen Dynasty on cassette at the local record shop and it was the first time I´ve heard that song. Didn´t get to know the original until the mid-80s. There are songs more interesting on TSMR.

Did you steal all your cassettes?
