ANSWERED:
By Googling the unique guitar sound!

"How Soon Is Now?" -The Smiths, 1985
"While recording, [Johnny] Marr created the oscillating guitar effect that plays throughout the track, a rhythm that has been compared to the song 'Mona' originally recorded by Bo Diddley and subsequently by The Rolling Stones. After a break, Marr and [John] Porter added a few overdubs, including a slide guitar part that 'gave [the song] real tension', according to the guitarist. That night Porter sent singer Morrissey a rough mix of the song in the mail. The following morning Morrissey arrived and laid down his vocals, culling lyrics from various works in progress in his notebook. According to Porter, the singer completed his vocals in two takes."
