Haven't seen it. Forward URL to a picture if you can.
Sting is a bassist and plays six string guitar as well, but by far better
known as a bassist. There are a number of double neck guitars with a bass
neck and regular full sized guitar neck. But then again, these do not have
but four and six strings per neck respectively.
There are also a number of 6/12 double neck guitars with one neck having
six strings and the other in double courses of the usual 12 string guitar.
But what you describe sounds like the "Picasso Guitar". It has 42 strings
with the courses crossing each other. The idea is like that of a sitar,
hurdy-gurdy, and hardanger fiddle where some of the strings sound from
sympathetic vibration. I have never seen it associated with Sting, but who knows?
It's most famous proponent is the jazz guitarist Pat Metheny.
Here is a picture of the Picasso Guitar
