This one was built for a friend of Nik Huber and appears to be a total one off. Something you are not likely to find in such as a Gibson Archtop except at a much higher price. Quality comparison? You decide.....All top quality hardwoods----NO plywood!
You might also compare this one to an archtop model in the PRS PRivate Stock realm, with a price into 5 figures.
It has the exceptional quilted top AND back. Flamed MAHOGANY neck with flame maple binding and figured body. A great combination of Haussell Vin and 1959 pups with a wide range of sounds, including the coil split option. . Sterling silver inlays.....Maintaining Nik's "Sea" theme, the inlays and "F holes" are shaped like waves. And hardwood trim. About as over the top as one might want.
