The Reimer GmbH (or simply, Reimer) is a Nordmarken-Flattieland based manufacturer of musical instruments and amplifiers. Reimer produce acoustic guitars, bass amplifiers and public address equipment, however it is best known for its solid-body electric guitars and bass guitars, particularly the Comet, Constellation, Nova, Solar, Nebula Bass, and the Stellar Bass. The company is still being run by the son of Jürgen Reimer, Arno Reimer.
The guitars, basses, and amplifiers Jürgen designed from the 1940s on are still widely used: the Reimer Comet (1949) was the first mass-produced solid-body electric guitar; the Reimer Constellation (1954) is among the most iconic electric guitars; the Reimer Nebula Bass (1951) set the standard for electric basses, and the Reimer Radiomatic amplifier, popular in its own right, became the basis for later amplifiers that dominated rock and roll music.
