Back to the unfriended, and typically thrashed upon theory of duplicating a track, and delaying it to create a image on the side needing a hole filled, I will do this to keep the space filled, with the other guitar track during the solo. It really can work, though I don't recommend this as a starting point. Only a fix that can actually work when needed.
Expecting some thrashing now.....
Oh my god - I can't believe you'd suggest that .

I float in water, therefore not a witch. Wait was I supposed to sink?
It's real damn simple ..ok?
Whenever we double a track- just have to frickin' remember;
It's always.. No, never....
Oh shit. Now I'm in the deep doo too
1]It depends on the instrument, the song, the arrangement and the mix placementShould instrument move to center for the solo/lead part?
It should be moved to the center during the solo act...
Say an instrument is panned to one side for most of the song playing rhythm. If it has a feature lead part over top of the other instruments, should it be moved to center during the solo or stay where it was? (I'm not talking volume, just about panning.)
What I have noticed on countless recordings is that instruments are placed just as you hear the band live. With that in mind it would be very un natural sounding for an electric ensemble if an instrument were to change position for a solo..
If the performers were electric, even if the soloist moves front and center for the solo, the amp does not move, therefor the sound stage does not change.
Perhaps if the recording was acoustic like a bluegrass ensemble, the soloist may take center stage for the solo, in which case it might be more believable or natural sounding.

You could just leave the lead to one side, and if it's mixed well and you're listening on anything other than headphones / earbuds, you'll never know it isn't in the middle. Those old VH records with Eddie only on one side don't sound goofy out in the room through stereo speakers. But in today's earbud world, a lead on one side kind of sounds awkward.
I wonder how many people in the last 100 years of recorded sounds that are not either musicians or engineers or producers have listened to a piece of music and even wondered about instrument placement, let alone whether it sounds natural or unnatural.At the same time, I've noticed on countless recording that the solo is put up the middle, whereas two or more rhythm guitars are spread left and right, even though there isn't another guitarist/amp who appears in the centre when it's solo time.
