What We Think

I was absolutely floored by the fullness and clarity of such a lightweight singlecut guitar. Just by listening to it I would have guessed the guitar was a good 2 lbs heavier than it actually is. On every pickup position your notes come out clear and bell-like. Set it with both pickups on and the coil-tap engaged and no one would know you weren't playing an out-of-phase. The neck is very thick and reminiscent of a 50's era Les Paul and plays with incredibly precision. A definite favorite in the shop right now!

Nik Huber Guitars Krautster - NAMM 2010

Nik Huber releases his latest sensation, the Krautster, at NAMM 2010. A sensation instrument that is stripped down to its most pure elements produces all of the feel and tonal qualities you would expect from a Nik Huber instrument without the ornate features known to some of his other masterpieces. The instrument is true a rock and roll tool designed to be a workhorse for the touring, studio, or gigging musician, or any musician or home-studio enthusiast that wants the legendary Nik Huber feel, build-quality, and tone, at a nicely reduced price. As are all of the Nik Huber Instruments, the Krautster is hand-crafted in Germany by Nik, and available for purchase or special order with Sound Pure that can be reached toll free at 888-528-9703.
