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 ;-)

Nik Huber tribute from.... Hamer :-)


Well.
Here is the news from the fine builders at Hamer USA (i.e. Kaman Group).
Since no really new models have surfaced since the launch of the Improv (4 yrs ago?), the hamerfolk have jumped on the Telly-mania that looks to have engulfed the world since about 1 year (strats are out, teleplanks are "in", dude!).

As per someone's comments in a US forum, there is something about it that looks huber-esque. If I were Nik, I'd be flattered!
In any case I like it - with the only exception of the "victory" inlays, which I'd really drop. I can understand the "support our men in the Gulf" thing, but unfortunately there isn't any victory to speak of, so...

Anyway - it'll be interesting to see the production pics and what people are going to spec as far as finishes, etc. The P90HB is wise (and trendy, I might add) as it allows to go for a full HB drop-in.
