Yep!
I let my ESP Eclipse II, Fender Telecaster 60th Anniversary and Takamine TF250SMCSB go.. I never thought I'd ever let any one of these go to be honest  But once every magical year, something extraordinary happens. You decide to try out a guitar, and the moment you touch it you know.. You just know, that this is the one you've been waiting for your entire life Everything's right, it feels right, it sounds right, it sustains right, it looks right, it even smells right. This is what happened to me. To quote www.guitarplayer.com: "...a supremely playable instrument that blends power, definition, warmth, and sustain" *drumroll* I give you the.. *drumroll* Nik Huber Redwood               It looks a little bit darker in real life, the pictures were taken in the store, so I find it even more beautiful in normal lighting I've never been one to think too highly of guitars priced this high. I've tried a couple of Ken Lawrence Explorers which is in the same pricerange, but they never tickled my pickle the way this did.. I just couldn't stop thinking about it once I tried it, so saturday I went back to the store and made a deal with the owner  I'll make you some samples and comparison samples between this and my Gibson. I warn you though, the Redwood is on another level (sad, but true...)  You can read the www.guitarplayer.com review HERE! Specifications: * Mahogany chambered body * Mahogany lid over electronics * Top is Exceptional Curly Redwood in one piece * Tigereye burst color * 25 1/2" mahogany neck with Abalone dots * Neck is also Toigereye burst * Ebony fretboard * Häussel Vintage humbuckers with split. Split is controlled by push/push on the toneknob * 3-way switch, volum, tone * Gold hardware * Ebony pickup rings * Huber wraparound bridge * Schaller tuners with ebony wings * SKB custom case ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- First I'd like to compare this guitar with my Gibson. My Gibson has Bareknuckle pickups and is a great guitar in my opinion.. Still... The Huber is in it's own class as you'll hear pretty soon For these two soundclips I just picked a preset on my Marshall JMP-1, a pretty bad one I'm afraid but that doesn't really matter. Both guitars are played thrugh the exact same settings at the exact same volume so you can hear the differences Gibson: 
Gibson.mp3 ( 3.99MB )
Number of downloads: 301Huber:
Huber.mp3 ( 3.99MB )
Number of downloads: 297And here are a couple of other soundclips from the Huber. I haven't had the time to dial in my preamp with this guitar, but it sounds pretty good still, but I'll post some better ones at a later time! Here we go: Slow Pop (With delay and a little reverb):
Huber_Slow_Pop.mp3 ( 2.44MB )
Number of downloads: 256Rockaroll:
Huber_Rockaroll.mp3 ( 2.52MB )
Number of downloads: 248Hard rock:
Huber_01.mp3 ( 6.02MB )
Number of downloads: 244Hope you like some of it although it's not optimal, but I'll try Mic'ing up a tube amp in the near future to show it in all it's glory
