The thin sound of the guitars is due to overproduction. The guitars in this track (which is synth heavy) were meant more to add flavor and to push the song more than be the main instrument, so I am sure they were eq'd to give them space, but were buried a bit in the mix, brought out during the chorus.

I agree that it's probably not Bjorn playing, but when you are part of band that was as tight and distict as ABBA was, you tend to stick with a sound you are familiar with, so the guitar may not have been anything Bjorn played, but the AE set it up to sound like that.

I also agree that trying to emulate John Sykes will get you in that ballpark.

Good luck with your project. I know that sometimes getting that perfect tone can be a real challenge. George Lynch is a self admitted slave to tone, and he has been trying to reproduce the tone Dokken had on their first album (which was recorded in England on British amps) for the last 30 + years...

If I had a nickle for ever time a woman told me to get lost, I could buy Manhattan.
