Although that low B is rather, well, low.. maybe tuned up to double that low E would be better?

I think the reason it sounds like a 12 string is because I think that there's a second guitar being played that's tuned to a different key but capo'd up high to be heard in E.

However, if someone knows a better/more accurate tuning .. please correct me, I want to learn to play this too, as correctly as possible.
I think the second guitar (Neale?) is part of the problem with figuring it out. On several Lindsey-solo songs they do the same thing - Lindsey plays one thing and someone else plays the same chords in a different voicing.

In terms of the low B... Doesn't Lindsey normally just use the 5 highest sounding strings anyway? I'm sure I remember times where he didn't even have 6 strings on his guitar because he never used it.
