No, you don't, but the chords are easier if you do use one.
I've counted at least eight discrete guitar parts in Hotel California ( not counting the bass) 1 - Acoustic 6 string 2 - 12 string electrics 5 - 6 string electrics

PRACTICE
Joe used a Fender Telecaster for his parts of the song and the solo. Don Felder played a Gibson Les Paul for the electric parts and solo and used a 12-string Takamine acoustic guitar with a DeArmond soundhole pickup that went through a Leslie rotating speaker to do the acoustic intro pieces that start out the song and continue throughout most of the song. I'm not sure what guitar Glenn Frey played on the song but I know it was probably a 12-string acoustic as well with a soundhole pickup probably or perhaps mic'd. Don Felder didn't use the white Gibson doubleneck EDS-1275 until they started playing the song live so he wouldn't have to switch between a 12-string acoustic and a Les Paul. The Doubleneck was set to have the 12-string neck go to one output jack going to a Leslie speaker and the 6-string neck going to his pedalboard then to his amp. Hope this helps!

Yes. There are two kinds of strings - nylon strings for the classical style of guitar, and steel string for the acoustic and also the electric guitar. It is most common for guitars to have 6 strings, with the lowest toned string at the top of the guitar (when held in playing position). There are, however, 12 stringed guitars, where each of the 6 strings has another string next to it which is tuned an octave higher than its counterpart. This gives a very full, lush sound, such as the sound of the acoustic guitar in The Eagles song, "Hotel California" or in David Bowie's "Space Oddity".
