Does an 8-string have another string below the low B or another string above the high E?

8-strings have an additional low string.

^ and what's the tuning for 8 string guitars?

I'd use something like E A E A D G 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.

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

This is my beautiful guitar.  It is my favorite for some sounds/playing.  I also like my '61 Gibson Melody Maker and I like strat's for extreme non-traditional tuning.
 
Warr guitars, or all touch-style guitars for that matter are also very cool but I have not yet played one.  They're so versatile!

You're right about that. I wonder why it just goes to smoe flimsy logo. That's totally stupid. Oh, well. Crap happens.
