The Nik Huber Dolphin '59 - Tobacco Burst is a breathtaking blend of old-world craftsmanship, vintage-inspired tone, and boutique-level refinement. Elegant in appearance and deeply expressive in voice, this exceptional instrument captures the spirit of a late-1950s classic while showcasing the unmistakable artistry and precision that have made Nik Huber guitars legendary among discerning players worldwide.

Finished in a rich Tobacco Burst with a smooth semi-gloss sheen, the beautifully carved flame maple top radiates warmth, depth, and natural character. The subtle “faux” natural maple binding enhances the guitar’s timeless aesthetic, creating a sophisticated contrast against the resonant mahogany body. Every contour feels organic and perfectly sculpted, delivering both visual elegance and exceptional comfort.

The mahogany neck features Nik Huber’s renowned Standard Dolphin carve, offering a substantial yet effortlessly comfortable feel that inspires confidence across the entire fretboard. Paired with a bound East Indian rosewood fingerboard and adorned with elegant crown celluloid inlays, the playing experience is smooth, luxurious, and unmistakably premium. The ebony headstock veneer adds a final touch of understated sophistication to this masterfully crafted instrument.

Loaded with a set of 1959 Harry Häussel humbuckers, the Dolphin ’59 delivers a voice that is rich, dynamic, and incredibly articulate. Warm vintage lows, vocal mids, and sweet, singing highs come together with remarkable clarity and sensitivity. From expressive blues phrasing and classic rock crunch to soaring lead work and refined clean tones, the guitar responds with stunning musicality and nuance.

Its premium hardware configuration includes a classic Tune-O-Matic bridge paired with an aluminum tailpiece for enhanced resonance and sustain, while Nik Huber 510 tuners with vintage-style tulip buttons provide rock-solid tuning stability with timeless visual appeal. Independent volume and tone controls for each pickup, combined with a traditional 3-way toggle switch, allow for an enormous range of tonal shaping possibilities.

Featuring a comfortable 24 3/4-inch scale length and weighing 8 lbs 11 oz, the Dolphin ’59 feels substantial, resonant, and perfectly balanced in the hands. Strung with 10-46 strings and housed in a premium hard case, the Nik Huber Dolphin ’59 in Tobacco Burst is more than a boutique guitar. It is a finely tuned work of art built to inspire players for a lifetime.
