      Hello Jon. Do patrion subscribers have a way to send you links to special music? To me this alone would be worth the price. There's a band from Idaho that I would dearly love to share with you.

    If I had Gibson Custom Shop money to spend I'd buy this Huber instead and write Gibson a long letter about how good it is. But in reality I live in more of an Epiphone world and am saving up for a Sire. Still nice to dream. Beautiful playing Jon, thank you.

      The only thing I'd be concerned about was resale value. I don't usually buy a guitar with resale in mind, but Gibson have a proven track record at holding their value. I wonder if a Nik Huber would hold its value similarly.

    Thank you Jon, for me this is the best review of a Nik Huber guitar I've watched so far because it is so easy to see just how moved you are but the instrument. Your channel not only stands out for the high quality of your playing skills but also the humbleness and humility you bring to it.

    Hello Jonathan! I'm basically a Telle fan. But there are way too many cool guitars to go around wearing blinders. I have some modern Strats and others. Lately I have been looking into LP styles. I do have a LP Jr from HB that I really like. It was my first P90 guitar. The one you are reviewing tonight is beautiful. I like the sound, an the finish really shows off the wood. A work of art most definitely! Thanks for sharing. 👍🤙

    I really like your channel. I think if you would include deeper dives into the breakdowns of the specs, like taking off the back plates and showing the insides like Phillip McKnight and Darrell Braun do, your channel would see a spike in subs!
    Wicked playing, as per usual!

  • @OhGawdHesGotAGun
    @OhGawdHesGotAGun 8 місяців тому +1

    That is one of the most beautiful guitars I've ever seen. Mary Spender was absolutely right, it is a work of art. I'm not a big Les Paul fan, I don't care much about the woodgrain or its direction/prevalence either. I never liked the tacky orange color of the famed '59 Les Paul or its million copies of copies. I don't even like 'artificially aged' hardware (hipsterizing)...but I'm not blind. That is a stunning guitar that only Nik Huber can perfect. His designs are my favorite by far. To have him build one for me would be an honor - tho also a terrible waste since I'm an awful player. My budget tops out at Paoletti, so I'll have to drool over Huber's artwork from outside the boutique.
