According to this
https://chordify.net/it/chords/carpente ... -me-chords
there's a guitar, ukalele and piano. No mention of a 12 string guitar. It shows the chords so maybe you could use it to come up with something on a 12 string guitar.

That video in the first post which is now private is http://www43.tok2.com/home/lyrics27/lyr ... break.html

Sure does sound like a 12. Not sure if it's a Rick or not though. it doesn't seem to have the sustain I'd expect. Maybe a Gretsch, Epi, or Gibson?

If the bassist on that first song was Joe Osborn I would have had a source for more information; too bad it was not him.

Obviously it's tough to tell, but it reminds me a little more of a Fender XII. I'm hearing the "traditional" octave-first stringing (as compared to a Rick), and it does sound a little darker to my ears.
