What You Need To Know
1 Is this actually a new guitar?
Well, officially, it’s a new model. For the past 15 years the Krautster I and II have primarily used Nik Huber’s single-cut Les Paul Junior/Special-inspired Orca shape. But in an effort to differentiate it from someone else’s outline, primarily in the US market, the Krautster III now features Nik’s earlier Dolphin outline.
2 So, same guitar, different outline?
That’s the deal. The Krautster has been the most-ordered Huber guitar over the years; ironic, really, as when Nik introduced the guitar back in 2009, as an antidote to his carved-top ‘posh’ guitars, he didn’t think anyone would order one!
3 Hasn’t Huber done this before?
Technically, yes. You could order a Krautster with the Dolphin body as an upcharge custom order, but the standard model was always Orca-shaped.
Getting our hands on a Nik Huber guitar is a rare occurrence as everything he and his small team makes is instantly snapped up by hungry dealers. But you only have to spend a few minutes with your hands
