He will be using a Martyn 6 string accoustic guitar I suspect, at least that's what it looked like last week at Manchester ! The guitar will be mic'd with a piezo pickup at the soundhole to give an authetic sound. I suspect there is some reverb in the final mix ...
There are actually 2 guitars playing with the the lead / fill played by by Gilmour. I have seen a twelve string play the strum part before but the last time I saw him play I think there were two 6's. If you want to play this solo try using some chorus and play the fills between beats - sounds really nice. Would recomend a digital recorder for such tunes, you can record the basic strum then sing and play the fill over it - again, most enjoyable !
