I also insist on multiple takes. Actually, it seems uncanny at first when a guitar player will do an alternate take that is almost EXACTLY the same as the original, even the same mistakes or sloppy phrasing. But i guess it makes sense..style is personal.
Nothing beats the natural chorusing of honestly recorded guitar takes.
Sometimes in a mix there might be a few notes from a tricky duplicate that aren't precise enough or one take has a fret squeak when it shouldn't. Then I will just paste in the note from another track. It isn't noticeable amongst the general mush.
Don't think i've ever tried to layer 12 tracks though.. there comes a point when the power of multitracked guitars gets over run by too much repetition. 12 tracks is maybe too much of a good thing!
