Who the hell could actually play this thing??

This whole post is probably TMI but since I spend a bit of time watching all manner of guitar videos on youtube.....
There is this video of a four neck guitar, the guy playing is a well known guitar guy, plays a lot of 2-neck guitars. This particular video is short and awful:
There is this one that doesn't show much playing and is really more of a comedy show but you can see a 6 neck guitar:
Cheap Trick famously used a 5 neck guitar, he actually plays it but not every neck in this video of Surrender:
A video I just found, looking up these others, of 8 people playing every neck of an 8 necked guitar:
Here is one that is actually musically gratifying if you made it this far. This is more of a classical play style and one guy is playing both necks at the same time.
The guitar in the fist video is kind of an outlier as every neck seems to be the same, it's just something to look crazy and fling around in a stage show. Generally, multi neck guitars are for having different setups for each neck. Different strings, pickups, tunings, maybe one is a bass or one is fretless, stuff like that. Like the N64 controller, most people don't use it quite as awkwardly in practice as it seems at first glance. Most of the time when I see them people are using them either like the guy in the last video or like the guy in the Cheap Trick song where he plays one for part of the song and another for the chorus or something.
So i had a couple weeks of crazy hours.
I was paid exactly zero hours of OT. And i was back charged for 3 brushes that i charged to the business acct since mine were destroyed when forced to use shellac and oil.
Your job always sounds like so much fun.
