if you check out Nes' FB page, he's answering some questions on the new album, including who some of the session players are. apparently the jangly 12 string is NOT him

Mike Viola on 12 string!
  12:53pm
P-90:

Fascinating to me that it's 2016 (!) and we're still adamant about clarity regarding just WHO played the "jangly 12-string" on the latest Monkees joint! (Just to be clear: this tickles me in an entirely good way, I'm not being cynical or dismissive)
  12:56pm

They got Mike Viola. Makes perfect sense.
