9 on top, 8 on bottom, unless I’m blind-which I might be.
Assuming somehow there’s a 12 string guitar plus a 5 string bass thrown in the bottom?
Comment on I said maybe

I want to know how he has it tuned. I counted 16 tuners. I assume there’s a standard bass guitar in there somewhere.

from Wikipedia:
Elwood Francis (born August 23, 1961) is an American guitar tech and bassist. The longtime guitar technician for bassist Dusty Hill of ZZ Top, Francis replaced Hill in the band after Hill’s death in 2021 at Hill’s request.
In 2022, Francis went viral for performing on stage with a 17-string bass guitar, an instrument he found “late at night while internet surfing on one of those Chinese websites”.[7] He sent the listing to Billy Gibbons and they ordered the bass from China. Francis has admitted that he hates playing the instrument as it is hard to play and he struggles finding the frets on the bass’ neck.[7] The bass was later eventually discovered to be a knockoff of Jared Dines’ Ormsby 18-string.[8]

This roller coaster ride is basically the story of my life. “Look at this screwball knife in Aliexpress, how did they come up with that?” Then what ensues is a multi-hour dive into the rabbit hole to discover whose design they ripped it off from.
For instance you can’t buy a HOM Chimera for love nor money nowadays, but the Chinese will sell you one or at least something shaped just like it for $60…

I looked it up just to see and I find just a butterfly knife? What makes the HOM chimera worth enough to make a knock off?

I think just that one string is in tune. The rest are just pussy magnets

He’s clearly a good swimmer with the constant flood of pussy he’s drowning in.
