I have 8 and could use at least two more. With a stagger setup on each neck, that would make it 10. With the right spacing on the verticals, you can also have two close together like Chalker had on his C6 neck he could use together or separately. And then there is the Crawford cluster. I think Scotty had a LeGrande with a Cluster on each neck for the left leg plus the right knees. Add that to two verticals and that could make it about 14.

My D-12 Dekley is the prototype for Buddy Cage's guitar but I "only" have 12 knee levers on it: Two sets of LKLO, LKLI, LKV, and LKR, and RKLO, RKLI, RKV, and RKR.

I believe Buddy has two sets of LKLO, LKLI, LKV, LKRI, and LKRO on his left left leg and RKLO, RKLI, RKRI and RKRO on his right leg for his total of 14. He might have an RKV instead of the two RKR's.

Look at Jimmie Crawford's guitar sometime. It has more appendages underneath of it than a cow's udder! Image

A cow's udder doesn't even come close!
Do you know how to milk a cow?
You put one hand on one udder and the "udder" hand on the "udder" udder. Image
Uff-Da!
