A very limited run of 12 pieces – available now!
Nik Huber is a German luthier and one of the most respected namesin guitar manufacturing in Europe. Nik and his team produce high-end instruments in Rodgau, Germany. His guitars and craftsmanship are respected all over the world! Models like the Dolphin, The Orca, the Blue Whale and Krautster are household names for every serious guitarist and guitar aficionado! We are therefore proud to be able to have Nik and his team build us a limited run of special Orca ’59 style instruments, named: The Seahorse! It is based on the famous Orca ’59, which is one of the most exclusive and ‘desirable’ guitars in the Huber line up, and its price is usually at the higher end of the scale, around and sometimes even over 8000 euro. But not this baby!
Yes, the Orca guitars are among the best and highest quality Les Paul style, carved top, single cut guitars, but because of their price they are not always within every aspiring musician’s reach. I therefore teamed up with Nik and Clemens to come up with a more affordable, work-horse version of the revered Orca ’59. An limited run of instruments that is exclusive to Max Guitar: the ‘Seahorse!’ A name that fits right in with the line of other lovely sea animals that are represented in Nik’s guitar model lineup and a price that fits right in between the more ‘basic’ Krautster and the upmarket Orca ’59, at a decent 4.998, - Euro. The Seahorse is basically an Orca ’59 with a no nonsense ‘work-horse’ attitude and expresses Nik’s and Robb’s Love for the ocean! Really a superb guitar that is Made in Rodgau, Germany and encapsulates all the desired qualities that make the ’59 Orca so special, like: the best tone woods: a lightweight mahogany body and carved maple top, with the usual volume and tone controls. A dark rosewood fingerboard with dot inlays and rolled fingerboard edges. It comes with a super sturdy Nik Huber gig bag. It has a super resonance, sustain and playability, features the known German made hardware and Haussel pickups and is an absolute joy to play!
This instrument is part of a limited edition of 16 instruments for 2021-2022 and for now available in two stunning open pore finishes, and comes either with a wraparound bridge (see illustration) or the usual tunomatic bridge combined with a stop tailpiece. As a subtle reference to its name it sports an intricate ‘Seahorse’ mother of pearl inlay at the 12th fret.
A percentage of the profit on this guitar will be donated to: https://trashurehunt.org/ a dutch environmental organization, which cleans up our Dutch beaches and makes our youth aware of the problems associated with litter and littering in nature.
