Nik Huber Krautster II Worn Goldtop (2024)

The fact that good guitars can be built in Germany is nothing new. One of the companies responsible for this good reputation is the Nik Huber guitar manufacturer. Their guitars are not only in demand in Germany, but also worldwide. The Krautster II is clearly in the corner of Les Paul Junior and its ilk. Pure sound, fantastic handling and only the finest components. This is of course also the case with this Krautster II from 2024, which has a pleasantly light mahogany body and a wonderfully patinated gold top finish. In combination with the beautifully flamed maple neck and the equally patinated black pickguard this is a really great look. The haptically perfect fingerboard made of East Indian rosewood is a perfect match. Thanks to the “Std. Krautster” neck-carve and an ideal weight of 3110 grams the guitar's playing characteristics are of course top notch. But the best thing about this Huber is its sound! The combination of a P90 “1956” on the neck with a “Krautster B” humbucker on the bridge definitely leaves nothing to be desired in terms of sound. This combination is simply fun! When played distorted at the bridge the Krautster covers everything from AC/DC to the Foo Fighters to juicy, modern Rock. Fat and uncompromising with an invitation for hard riffs and singing lead sounds! And the P90 on the neck also likes it clean. Crisp, direct, very fresh and yet with enormous warmth for clean pickings and warm Blues. This makes the Krautster a full-blown sound chameleon and, last but not least, it also impresses with the additional variety of sounds that can be realized with the split function of the humbucker using the push/pull pot. We are delighted to be able to offer you this fantastic all-round guitar in top condition.
