Tasty LPish Porn

Have been checking these out for awhile. Finally found one and took the plunge. This thing is awesome. More of a 60's neck, thinner than my Hamer. Nice good weight around 9 pounds. Rings like a bell. The Hausell(sp?) pickups are geared more for the vintage vibe, but they are nice. Liek the touches like the wood back plates. maple p/u rings. ebony tuner pegs and truss rod cover. I see a CS order in my future. I have been talking to a few of the ADs, there are actually 5 here in the U.S., and they all have been telling me that for small unkown brand, they have been selling quickly.

Oh by the way it's a Nik Huber Orca.

Oh by the way check out in the 2nd pic how the frets are slotted in, the board isn't cut all the way across.

You sure that's not rosewood binding? Looks a bit darker than the board.

Sweet. I could almost swear it was the same guitar as my Michael Kelly. They look exactly the same except for the headstock.

That is a beauty! Congrats! [img]/images/graemlins/toast.gif[/img]

One question. The guitar is called Orca, why is there a dolphin instead of a killer whale on the headstock? [img]/images/graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img]

I've been checking out the Hubers for a little bit, too. Of course, there's no way I would be able to play one before taking any kind of plunge. Interestingly enough, I just put an order in for a set of the Haussel pickups to toss in my Hamer Special FM as well.

Nice score.

The Dolphin is the Nik Huber company logo. This one was built a few months ago, I believe the new ones Orcas(LP style) are coming out with an Orca on the headstock.

For the Rosewood binding question. It is not bound, just has the appearance in a those pics.

Looks awesome. Did you have the possibility to put jumbo frets.
