G2a...G1a...G2b...G1b
It's important that you don't use exact copies for the same G, but use the slight natural playing differences between playing the SAME part twice; otherwise the ear will recognize them as "exactly the same" and just plant the sound halfway, without any stereo effect. So G1a <> G1b, just very very similar.
This effect is used in many many songs. As an example, I did it here:

even though this is just one guitar hard panned both ways, and the playing differences were created by humanizing velocities and timing of a MIDI part. You'll hear that the guitar sounds in the middle, yet also has a "spacy" stereo effect.

G2b......G1a....G2a.......G1b
My G1's are normally distorted and my G2's a little cleaner if not clean. my "a" tracks are the dominate tracks with the "b"s mixed a little lower.
Different variations of the same principle.
