It's a 16-string neck, with strings tuned in pairs like a 12-string guitar.

Sho-Bud built a few guitars with the dual string neck. It was usually a 16 string. E9th 8 string tuning with octaves on the lower strings and unisons on the higher strings. There was one built for Jimmy Day called "The Monster". I have seen a triple neck that was 16, 10, 11. A single 16. A D-16/10. There is a Youtube of Shot shiwing off the Jimmy Day guitar. It's on my old Myspace page if you can find it. These guitars had a very unique sound. Buddy used one on one if he and Shot's instrumental albums but I don't remember which one. On the old Sho-Bud brochure with Shot and Buddy and the long row of steels there is at least one of these guitars.

In constant demand at recording sessions. OK.
So that`s what they have been asking for all these years...

| I sat down behind one of these things out at Harry Jackson's house. "The Monster" is the perfect word for it. Have no idea what it sounded like because I wasn't gonna begin to try to tune it. It was nowhere close to being in the tuning that it was meant to be. |
