I guess the 9 String Configuration was designed by Gordy Bishoff. I found a explanation on Youtube (for what that is worth):

"the 9 string he is playing is a guild...very similar to? a 12 string however the bottom 3 strings are not doubled,
instead they are of heavier gauge in order to tune very low to get very low bass notes".
