There are also 8-string basses built like 8-string guitars. What those are good for are beyond me though.

^ and what's the tuning for 8 string guitars?
I'd use something like E A E A G D B E ... but technically the first two strings would be bass strings, so this instrument would rather be a bass/guitar hybrid than a 8 string guitar.

I thought an 8 string had 4 pairs of strings, one tuned normally and one an octave higher, like a 12 string guitar.

I think it's a better looking guitar, it that makes a difference; as with many things, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
There's always the consideration, too, that you have to bear in mind I am always correct, and therefore nobody else's opinion has any real weight.
This we know...

But do you agree that it is far more stylish than McLaughlin's custom built doubleneck?
