I hadn't heard of Charlie Hunter before, but he appears to be quite talented. Apparently, he's known for playing custom guitars with 7 or 8 strings, with simultaneous guitar and a bass parts. This is the first video I pulled up on YouTube: https://youtu.be/La2gmwSQJo0?t=83 Check out the fret arrangement on his guitar.
