Does anyone know what guitar this is?

Bruno Mars - Treasure (Official Instrumental) - [© Atlantic] - YouTube In this 'Treasure' instrumental, there's a low guitar that comes in at 0:02 just before the snare. I know that it's a really common guitar in disco/funk songs like this, but I just don't know what it's called. And do you think I would be able to find one on logic or find a VST? One that sounds authentic, even though the ones in these songs are most likely to be played live.

Thanks!
 
that's the chicka - achieved by muting the strings with the left hand and strumming them with the right hand in a chick-a pattern (semiquaver-dotted-quaver/16th-dotted8th) or even the chick-a-wa (semi-quaver-semi-quaver-quaver/16th-16th-8th)

most good funk/disco style guitar libraries have something that you can use to achieve this.
