interesting production/mix...not sure if you are asking, but you know how the second set of strings on a 12 are of a gauge that puts them an octave "higher" than the standard set you would find on a 6 string?

a high string guitar uses that set of strings only so you have the standard low E and A strings but the higher pitched D G B E strings are what gives it that crisp ring

i've recorded using one but never with such a production strategy, neato

the GL harmony vs lead vocal mix also seems to have channel separation, so if you listen with headphones it's like being inside Gord's head, lol
