Nik Huber Orca 59 – A Masterpiece for the Discerning Collector
For guitarists who appreciate the timeless allure of a Gibson Les Paul or Paul Reed Smith but desire something truly unique, the Nik Huber Orca 59 stands in a class of its own. Handcrafted to perfection, this guitar embodies vintage character while showcasing modern innovation and rare tonewoods. The one-piece White Korina body and neck deliver tonal warmth and sustain unmatched by standard single-cut guitars, while the Exceptional Curly Maple top adds breathtaking visual depth.
The Orca 59 isn’t just a guitar – it’s an investment in rare artistry. Whether you’re a collector or an active player, this piece offers the tonal richness, playability, and aesthetic appeal that only Nik Huber’s master craftsmanship can provide.
Craftsmanship Meets Rarity – Korina Construction
At the heart of the Orca 59 lies White Korina – a tonewood cherished for its resonant low end, crisp highs, and vintage-like growl. This one-piece Korina body and neck combination offers unparalleled sustain and midrange punch, giving the guitar a tonal edge that sits beautifully in any mix. Paired with an East Indian Rosewood fretboard and Mother of Pearl Crown inlays, the Orca 59 reflects meticulous attention to detail and luxurious design.
Exceptional Tone – Built for the Stage and Studio
The Häussel '59 humbuckers are custom-wound to recreate the sought-after tones of classic late '50s PAFs, delivering fat, warm lows and shimmering highs. With a coil tap option via the push/pull tone control, this guitar seamlessly shifts from humbucker warmth to single-coil clarity, making it versatile for a wide range of genres. The ABM AVR-2 bridge and aluminum tailpiece enhance resonance and sustain, while the Schaller Grandtune tuners provide precise tuning stability.
