Okoume 8-String Guitar Neck, 24 Fret, Artificial Rosewood Fretboard

This 8-string neck combines solid mahogany construction with a darkwood fretboard alternative, delivering the tonal characteristics and structural stability needed for extended-range instruments. The mahogany provides balanced midrange response with natural sustain, while the composite fretboard material offers consistent density and smooth playability without the maintenance concerns of traditional exotic woods.

The 55mm nut width provides 6.9mm string spacing at the nut, appropriate for most 8-string string sets (.009-.080 typical). Fretboard radius is 16" for comfortable fretting across all strings without choking out on bends. The dual-action truss rod allows for both relief and back-bow correction, essential for the higher string tension of 8-string tunings.
