It's the Takamine EF381SC Legacy 12 String Acoustic Guitar in Gloss Black that someone put on his board. I was searching all over the net for it and only after I figured it out, I saw it was already on his page :)

I read somewhere that he used a special pickup in it.

Here you go...

“The acoustic guitar in the intro [of "Hotel California"] is a Takamine 12-string with a DeArmond pickup,” Felder said in an interview with Guitar World. “We miked the acoustic and put that in the center of the mix. Then we took the pickup’s output and ran it through an Echoplex and a Leslie. We miked that in stereo, so it has this left-to-right kind of swirling, ethereal characteristic. It’s blended in with the direct acoustic as well."
