In this video: https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/amy-winehouses-early-rap-career-explored-in-bonus-documentary-footage-47017/?jwsource=cl near the 01:08, a 13/14 year old Amy Winehouse is seen playing what appears to be a 1997/1998 Fender "California Series" Stratocaster in Candy Apple Red metallic color and fitted with a pair of black tone and volume knobs; the model is given away by the headstock shape, the top truss-rod adjustment nut and the post CBS style logo, all along with the estimated date, since it is known that Amy's first guitar was given to her at the age of 13, being this also the guitar which one of her first ever written songs "Cherry" talks about.
In a series of images from The Jewish Museum, from the exhibit "Amy Winehouse: A Family Portrait", you can see a Dimavery RS-310 used by Amy. Source.
In a photo taken by Nick Shymansky, Amy Winehouse is seen playing a black Johnson Instruments JG-420 guitar in a Miami home studio.
UPDATE: It is actually a Spanish guitar Alcazar model, https://guitarrasbros.com/guitarra-clasica-espanola-alcazar. I contacted the manufacturer and was told that the model Amy owned was a special edition also a little smaller than the usual version.
In several articles, magazines and even in Mitch Winehouse's book "Amy, my daughter" it is stated that Amy and her father Mitch visited Francisco brothers' workshop during a vacation in Gata de Gorgos, Alicante, Spain where she got the classical guitar she'd later use for writing several of the tracks from Back to Black; highlighting too this was one of her favorite guitars amongst all the ones she had.
