All the guitar work you hear.
The bass (software instrument).

Process

Played Hersh's vocals and tried to find suitable power chords to go with them. Found them around the key of Am.

Recorded the guitars, added the drum loops, then recorded the lead guitars.

Tweaked the sound levels, re-arranged the song a little bit, then added a bassline and final mix adjustments.

Other Notes

I don't know about other listeners but this goes into one of my personal favourite remixes (if this sounds egoistical, well it's not). I've listened to this mix several times and still feel that raw power each time I hear Hersh's vocals. She's really the key to this rock track.
