Nik Huber Dolphin Special Korina Natural (005)

The Nik Huber Dolphin Special Korina Natural is a masterclass in boutique craftsmanship, embodying the meticulous attention to detail and refined elegance that define Nik Huber guitars. Handcrafted in Germany, this exquisite model features a tonewood combination and aesthetic that speaks to players seeking both sonic depth and understated beauty.

The guitar’s body and neck are both crafted from Korina, a highly resonant tonewood known for its warm midrange and exceptional sustain, delivering a harmonically rich foundation for any style. The Standard Dolphin neck carve provides a comfortable, organic feel, while the East Indian Rosewood fingerboard with creme binding and Mother of Pearl crown inlays adds a touch of classic sophistication.

Finished in a Natural Open-Pore look that allows the character of the Korina to shine through, the Dolphin Special is both visually and tonally expressive. The 25.5" scale length ensures clarity and punch across the frequency spectrum, making it equally adept at articulate leads and dynamic rhythm work.

This model comes loaded with a set of Nik Huber P90 1956 pickups, delivering a perfect blend of vintage grit and modern clarity. The Nik Huber aluminum stoptail bridge and 510 open-gear tuners with tulip buttons offer rock-solid stability and smooth operation, while the black brushed hardware and tortoise switch tip add unique, high-end character to the instrument’s aesthetic.

Additional details like an ebony headstock inlay, .010–.046 Elixir strings, and a thorough final check by Nik Huber himself round out an instrument that is as collectible as it is playable.

The Dolphin Special Korina Natural is more than a guitar—it's a statement piece, blending vintage soul with contemporary craftsmanship for players who demand tone, feel, and timeless design.
