Sound Pure's Take
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!
Grab this used guitar now or get on the 4-year waiting list for a similar one!
From Nik Huber Guitars
A legend in and of itself, the Nik Huber
Orca looks familiar to guitar players
around the world by virtue of its shape.
Paying tribute to the first solidbody of
this kind, the Nik Huber Orca brings a new
twist to the traditional form with a slightly
thinner body and a longer scale.
The classic combination of tonewoods
and traditional method of construction
make this guitar spring to life out of the
fascinating merger between vintage
values and modern-day quality.
