Nick Reynolds of the Kingston Trio often played an 8 string guitar. Martin's O-18T8 is an 8 string tenor guitar. It could be played as an octave mandolin.
John Doyle, Tim O'Brian and Sarah Jarosz all play guitar shaped octave mandolins. They call them "octave mandolins".
There seem to be quite a number of guitar shaped octave mandolins. https://www.google.ca/search?biw=143....0.-YFTdYHVR6M
