Used 2015 Nik Huber Custom Orca '59 Faded Tobacco Sunburst

 This 2015 Nik Huber Orca ’59 Custom Order is a serious German-built take on a late-’50s single cut — and it delivers the refinement you expect from a builder producing only a few hundred guitars per year. Handcrafted in Rodgau, Germany and personally final-checked by Nik Huber himself, this Orca ’59 blends vintage character with modern precision in a way few instruments can.

The build starts with a mahogany body and neck, topped with an exceptional flame maple cap, finished in a beautifully faded Dark Tobacco Sunburst. The combination delivers warmth and depth from the mahogany, paired with articulate attack and harmonic sparkle from the maple. The Brazilian rosewood fingerboard elevates this guitar into true collector territory, adding richness, complexity, and feel that only this wood can provide.

Loaded with a 1959 pickup set and fitted with a Nik Huber stoptail, this Orca responds dynamically to your touch — from articulate cleans to thick, singing overdrive. Strung with .010–.046 and assembled December 15, 2015, this is a boutique-level instrument built with obsessive attention to detail and tonal integrity.
