NGD Nik Huber Orca

Ben_McCarthy

Well this is quite possibly the most musical electric guitar I’ve ever played. Traded a lot of gear for it from a fellow forumite.

I’ve borrowed his pictures, thanks Dan

You might have seen this knocking about in the classifieds. 

It’s a 2006(pre CNC) Huber Orca with a Brazilian Rosewood board and a Korina back and neck. The top has an almost 3D effect and changes when you catch it in different lights. The carve in the top is just unreal. Just an unbelievable guitar...

Sentiment echoed.  I love a bit of korina.  I have been watching this in the classifieds, good (I think...) to see it's sold.

Having trouble with the back!

I wasn't being snidey.
Nor was I, genuinely just a laughette.
I reckon it was an incredibly difficult decision, that thankfully I didn't have to make, as frankly I couldn't do it.

I love Nik Huber guitars - they are beautiful and I find them very inspiring.

Just put a Bigsby on a Krautster for a customer and it was a lovely guitar.......

Most of us never do a guitar justice based on our talent - Enjoy it for what it is and don't feel guilty spending your cash on something that is so inspirational to you - Enjoy it

Wow what an absolute beaut! Just out of curiosity, is the bridge pickup placement slightly closer to the neck pickup compared to other builder’s Les Pauls?
