Gordon Lightfoot Forums - View Single Post - E.F. 12-String

In "All the Lovely Ladies", Gord is playing his usual 6-string, while Terry plays his regular 6-string in one speaker, and Red plays the "high string" guitar in the other. The "high string" can be heard in other songs like "Patriot's Dream", "Ode to Big Blue", "Never Too Close" and "Don Quixote". The rhythm guitars in "Summertime Dream" are two high-string guitars, one in the left channel adn one in the right. Gord also plays high string guitar on "I used to be a Country Singer". The high strings, when panned hard right and left and played together sound remarkably like a 12-string.
