Some builders chase specs. Hufschmid Guitars builds systems.
The Hexa 8 is a rare, concept-driven instrument where geometry, material choice, & restraint dictate every decision. Nothing here is accidental — from the structure of the inlay to the details hidden beneath the surface.
This instrument features a 17-hexagon HufGlow inlay referencing the 17 symmetry groups — the complete mathematical set describing how patterns repeat perfectly across a plane. It’s the underlying structure behind patterns found throughout nature, architecture, & crystallography, approached from a precise, non-symbolic perspective. Once you understand that, the entire guitar clicks.
Built from single pieces of perfectly quarter-sawn, ribbon-figured sapele for both the neck & body, this Hexa balances authority, clarity, & control with exceptional ergonomics & playability.
