The Nik Huber Redwood – Tiger Eye Burst is a truly exceptional instrument, crafted as a NAMM Showpiece and built to showcase the pinnacle of Nik Huber’s artistry, precision, and tonal sophistication. Designed for discerning players and collectors alike, this guitar embodies boutique excellence—where meticulous handwork, rare materials, and inspired design converge into a single, breathtaking instrument.
Visually, the guitar is nothing short of stunning. The exceptional flame Redwood top is the star of the show, finished in a rich Tiger Eye Burst that accentuates the dramatic figuring and organic depth of the wood. Paired with a resonant Mahogany body, the Redwood top adds a unique blend of warmth, complexity, and touch sensitivity, while maintaining clarity and balance across the frequency spectrum. Every contour and finish detail reflects Nik Huber’s unmistakable attention to detail and refined aesthetic.
The Mahogany neck, carved in Nik Huber’s renowned Standard Dolphin profile, offers a comfortable, confident feel that suits both expressive lead work and articulate rhythm playing. A sleek Ebony fingerboard provides fast response and crisp note attack, while the matching Ebony headstock adds a refined, cohesive look. Elegant Crown Ring fingerboard inlays crafted from sterling silver lend a subtle yet distinctive visual signature, complemented by the Mother of Pearl signature inlay on the headstock.
Tonally, the guitar is equipped with a hand-wound 1959 pickup set by H. Häussel, delivering rich, vintage-inspired character with exceptional clarity, dynamic response, and harmonic depth. From warm, woody cleans to open, authoritative overdrive, these pickups translate every nuance of the player’s touch. A Nik Huber stoptail bridge ensures rock-solid tuning stability and enhances sustain, while premium gold hardware with inlay detailing elevates both performance and presentation.
Attention to detail extends throughout the instrument, including Gotoh/Nik Huber tuners with ebony buttons, cream brushed pickup rings and switch tip, an Ebony back plate, and elegant gold bell knobs. Set up with 10–46 Elixir Nanoweb strings for smooth feel and long-lasting tone, this NAMM-featured Nik Huber Redwood comes protected in a hard case, making it as practical as it is extraordinary. The Nik Huber Redwood – Tiger Eye Burst stands as a rare, inspired example of modern boutique guitar building—an instrument that is as expressive and individual as the musician who plays it.
