This Reichardt 8-string is the kind of build that feels purpose-made for modern players: long scale for a tight low end, premium woods that ring acoustically, & hardware you never have to fight. The figured imbuya body is finished in a hand-rubbed oil that keeps it resonant & fast in the hands, paired with a quartersawn wenge neck in a comfortable C profile.
Up top, a ziricote board with a flatter playing surface makes 24 frets feel effortless, and the setup stays stable thanks to a dual-action truss system and a buffalo horn nut. Hardware is all blacked-out, with Hipshot handling both the bridge & tuners. Electronics are a Seymour Duncan Black Winter set—big output, aggressive grind, & surprisingly clear for an extended-range instrument. Simple controls: volume, tone, and a 3-way toggle.
