If you can get a guitar in the shape of dragon with 36 frets and all of that other junk then Im suree you can get an 8 string classical guitar
Ive seen 8 string and 10 string guitars online

Gee ketsueki15, never knew you were into classical guitar, since looking at your profile and seeing Randy Rhoads. Well I'v never seen an 8 string classical never-the-less even heard of one. Yes I am ashamed, being the classical man I am :D . Though im guessin the extra two strings are bass ones (correct me if im wrong) So it might be a nice way to play arpeggios. Also you can play chords such as D, Dm, and D7 on Low G, B, and E with tremolo. Just some cool ideas.

lol..I play my classical guitar much more than my eletric guitar..Im trying to increase my song repertiore with classical music...I believe there is an extra fat string and then an extra little string...I dont know what there tuned to tho...Ive also seen a 10 string classical guitar...Now I figure I will have to get one made by a luthier considering I probably wont find these in my average music/guitar store

well....
Of course you can get everything guitar-wise. I´ve seen a 10-stringer classical on the frankfurt music fair 2 years ago and it looked cool but they didnt let me try it :(
looked like that one (which is an 8-string)

However - the advantages should be obvious - a bigger tonal range.
More common than those are contra-guitars which dont have the additional strings on the same fretboard, but like a lute on a second fretboard.
Looks like this 15-stringer here:
These are used to perform simple bass-lines with. Most lute-music was written for those types of instruments. Thats why alot of lute music is way easier to play on a lute than on a regular guitar for you can play the bass notes without fretting them, thus making alot of chords easier to play. Plus the sound is very rich.
The contra-guitar has been invented in the 19th century in vienna. The tuning of the low bass strings is chromatic moving from Eb downwards. So on the biggest of those instruments the lowest note is a very low G.
