I'm thinking you 8-stringers are falling into that top group there. 
I'm not gonna speak for Jarsve since he is his own man , plus he has a sword
OK if that picture be the truth I almost hate to have to say this ...
Looking at that picture , I think , Oh Boy , I'm getting Double Shafted
I'm in both the top section of the pic and the bottom section of the picture but not in the middle

where all the girls are
OK first , lets look at the top picture ,Yeah , I have had many years of playing to an empty room full of guitar players ....
Getting a one thumbs up is cool Yet most of the local guys that have come out to see me play have suffered from very poor circulation. They seem to enjoy crossing their arms in front of their chests rather tightly when I'm playing ..
We all know that can happen , and some of us have been there and done that our self's ...
Some of these guys are rather talented , I almost wonder if some of them should give up the guitar al together and peruse a career in acting . A few I've met can beat out the absolute best out in a stare down contest ...a necessary acting skill ..
I've even met a few that can even out Gaze the Master of stink eye himself Clint Eastwood when it comes to giving a guitar player a hard looking 1000 yard Gaze of Stink Eye ....
Having survived that added bonus of playing out, I'm always grateful to get at least a one thumbs up from a guitar player who happens to be an audience member
The part that is giving me a Rough Time over here is this
Now that I'm playing 8 string guitar , does that means I'm also covering the Bass Guitar a lot of the times ?...
Please don't tell me that I'm automatically enrolled and have been cast into the bottom section of that picture also....
if that's the case it now a double whammy....
FWIW I happen to love bass players ...I've always enjoyed dating their younger sisters ...
Yet, according to that picture I'm gonna end up being bald , fatter than I am , having missing teeth and all alone ...
You guys see what I mean about getting double shafted according to that picture ?
Oh well , I came into this world that way ...
If That's the way the cookie crumbles ..So be it , since that's the way I'm gonna probably end up leaving this world any way
