Unknown sound effect

I’m usually pretty good at figuring out odd sounds and whatnot, but this one has thrown me for a loop for 25 years. Now I’m working on a cover of it and can get something close but am curious if anybody knows what this sound actually is?

I’ve narrowed my guesses down to scratching on the guitar strings with heavy reverb and compression and whatever else I can throw at it. My other guess is some kind of shaker or washboard instrument with again, heavy processing.

Anyone know what it is? The effect sound starts at 0:03
