Wheeling and Dealing Nik Huber Guitars

This page belongs to me, Paul Weber - freelance electric guitar aficionado and part-time dealer. I've hooked up with german luthier extraordinaire Nik Huber to get some of his world-class guitars around and with german custom pickup maker Harry Häussel. These 2 people must be amongst the most underrated music industry participants I know... Do check out my website http://www.ugroove.biz for more six string action ;-)

Was Lost But I'm Back Now Kinda Thing

Blogging is nice...but you have to remember all your passwords, buzzzwords, codewords, etc.
It can be a bitch.
And you can get lost.
SO
What happened after Sept 23rd?...Hmmm.
Good stuff... Hooked a very nice order in the US for a Nik Huber Orca which will feature a very nice eastern maple top in a beautiful "classy" and vintagey nitro finish.
Getting primed for the Milano guitar show (Second Hand Guitar, or SHG27 for short). Nik will be there in person...yee-haw!
Received a bautiful duo of sexy Dolphins... one is a tobacco sunburst, for a local buyer here in Switzerland who decided he wanted to be paid "in kind" (mine) for services rendered.
The other one has an extraordinary quilt top in double stain blue, a 4+2 headstock in natural mahogany.
This thing screams and sounds woody at the same time - unreal!!!

I keep on fantasizing about my own, personal, super-custom, agent order. I'm getting an IRW neck for free but I just can't decide how to use it, LOL.
Fantasy #1 is a chambered Dolphin in korina, with an extra long tenon neck (down to the bridge p.up), 3+3 headstock, and 2 Haeussel P90HB pickups. I'd have Harry wind these with a 15% tapped overwind so I could switch between regular and "power" settings.
Fantasy #2 - Orca Goldtop, solid korina body / IRW neck, oxblood body back, 2 soapbar Haeussels w/ same overwind as above
Fantasy #3 - same as #1 but with a eastern curly maple top and back in tobacco sunburst.

Dammn! Too many choices!!!!!

To top everything off - Harry is ready with the secret weapon. We'll re-unleash the mystical/magical tone and vibe of the Joe Barden pickups on to the world, tee-hee-hee.... Can't wait!!!

Next time... what about some pics?
I'll head off to tweak the settings of the site for a while.
