Just wanted to say I bought this guitar this weekend from World Guitars in Stonehouse. It even had the low wind pickup option and I can see what you mean, clear with top end and perfect for the music I play. First time for me with a P90 and it's the sound I've been looking for. Pickup selector in the middle coil tap on and it's a special sound. Amazing guitar, neck, tone and build, lot of dosh but so much better than other big name guitars I own. Stunning. Keep on rocking everyone.🎸😎👍

that neck joint is beautiful.

I can see ( and hear) why you love the guitar Dan. Covers a lot of ground with that pickup combination. A stunner.

I ordered this exact same guitar. Have had it a year and I love it.

Haeussel makes extraordinary pickups. I have a '59 in the neck and their TE Broad in the bridge of my Kirn Tele and it is glorious. Nik putting them in most of his instruments just lends credence to what I already knew about Harry's stuff. Top notch.

That sound in the beginning... Just marvellous.

love the big 'ol square inlays! I've wanted an HS guitar for sometime now, maybe someday

I went back for this one, Dan. I have been eyeing a Nik Huber bass. Such a handsome piece of work. Cheers.

Love my Krautster II!

OMG I so want one of those guitars now!

love it.... great tones !!!!!

I played this guitar when I was over - amazing guitar and incredible feeling neck....

This series is really cool! It would be awesome for you guys to go in depth over your favorite featured amps as well. I haven't seen much of the Hamstead outside of your vids

Love this video. It's made me want the Eggle version, ie Macon Junior.

That's a fine guitar Dan 🎸. Love the show ,you and Mick great fun and knowledge to be had with every episode. Are use still going to do a review of the T. rex replicater tape machine ❓

Love the Krautster - headed over to Germany next week - I gotta find Nik... My 14' LP Gibson Melody Maker has a similar setup, fat neck, but 2 P90's - love the MM and thinking the Krautster would take it up a notch.

Such a unique instrument in both look and tone. congrats

Sounds quite good.

Best guitar on the planet! I have the Mahogany body version. Still amazing.

thats got such an awesome throaty sound.

I'm not a 'fancy' guitar type of guy but DAMN...also very happy someone owns it that obviously loves it so much. People get new guitars on the forums and I just think, 'so what? what are you going to do with it?'

been waiting for this one - such a nice looking instrument i know it looks like something else but it doesn't at the same time (yes i know this sounds stupid). You are a lucky boy Mr Daniel.

Such a stunning guitar! Just beautiful, Dan😊 Thanks for sharing it with us. I'm off to lie down for a bit until the raging GAS eases off a bit...😖😏😆

killer sounding thing👌

Hello Dan, Love the Krauster! Unbelievable! Could you tell us a bit more of the humbucker replacement. What was the output/impedance of the humbucker that you removed and what is the output/impedance of the humbucker replacement pickup? What kind of magnets? Thirdly: with the low output of the new humbucker can you or do you use the coil split? Love the channel! Love the humor and the insights!

My eyes keep being drawn to that Brunetti amp in the back ground. Is that the same one Dave Kilminster uses? Will we be seeing that in any videos soon? Love these videos.

Great sounding and looking guitar, also the playing, sounds very bros landreth inspired at the start.

Dan, Love your videos mate. I have learnt more from you than 20 odd years of playing in bands! Love the guitar too. How do the electrics work? I'm so used to seeing two tones and volumes for two pick up guitars... Greetings from Singapore!

Thank you for the video. These guitars are very nice, but extremely expensive - almost double what I paid for my last guitar.

Beautifull guitar

HI DAN great guitar i think it would look great in surf green or black with a red tortoise shell pick guard.

Your best one. I think even better with a Bigsby & Mastery bridge but thats personal.

That's a great guitar! I'm not really into the look, but the sound is just perfect! I've got a question tho: towards the end of the video you have this really barky kind of low to mid gain sound. Which pedal is it or how can I get it? Thank you very much for all the effort you put in your amazing videos!

That guitar is full o' the mojo!

Yo what are you doing in Japan later this year? Would love to see you if there such chance! Love that bright tone btw

Awesome guitar that! :-)

That guitar is extreme!!! Everything on it is amazing. Tone, look, etc. Different in the best way possible. Can you get bluesy tones out of it? How much $ would I need for this guitar? God bless!!!

I didn't know about Nik Huber guitar until recently. How about an update on the show? Is it still in your 'top two'?

A thing of beauty! Would have loved to hear some neck tones, though. Action didn't seem high at all to me.

I remember when I first saw the Krautster a few years back, I was absolutely awestruck. To sound somewhat arrogant, I felt like it was made just for me. Obviously I knew it wasn't, but the satin finish, aged hardware, humbucker/P90 configuration were bang on. It was the type of guitar I didn't even know was possible until I saw it. Sadly I can't imagine myself ever owning one. They're way out of my league in terms of cost, and they never come up used. Reverend and the new Yamaha Revstar range have come close to replicating the Krautster in terms of styling and features, but they're affordable and more available.

thanks for that, a really nice sounding guitar. what was the scale length ?

Dan! That color finish on your Huber K2 is just fantastic! Here's a true story! I bought my first Huber about 4-1/2 years ago and it was a Huber K2 Goldtop! I loved it as much as anything I've owned but ended up trading it for a Collings 290! I regretted selling it as time passed and promised I would get myself another one down the road! Well that time came I ordered another Huber K2 with a set of the Haussel 1957 PAF HB's in it in the copper finish! I'm ashamed to say that I ended up trading it for another Collings as well! (Collings are the only other electrics that I swear by their build quality,tones and playability) Well guess what I'm sending the Collings 360 back to the dealer where I traded my Huber K2 and getting it back next week! What I really wanted to share with you and everyone else is how unfortunate is it that you don't totally and truly appreciate a really fine electric like the Huber K2 or for that fact any of Nik's Huber model guitars until you don't have them anymore! I will absolutely not under any circumstance get rid of my Copper Huber K2 when it is sitting in my "Mancave" by the end of next week! I'm betting that you agree with me 100% on my opinions and view point of the quality,feel and playability of your Huber K2! On another note I finally heard a demo of the D&M drive pedal and it could be the overdrive/boost pedal that I've been waiting on for a long time! I really think Robert nailed some amazing tones with the overdrive and boost circuits and I'm seriously considering the purchase of this unique pedal! What is your and Mick's take overall on it since you've had a chance to spend some time playing it! :-) I'll post a demo video of my Copper Huber K2 as soon as I get it back next week and re-post it on your youtube channel if you don't mind or I'll just post it on mine probably! Cheers, Mac Baker

Really enjoying these episodes guys, you have some lovely guitars. I have a question I'll put to each of you in the appropriate latest videos: Dan, if you could add one of Mick's guitars to your collection, which would it be?

Maybe it's the Eb or just the way you have it dialed (or because I'm used to your telecaster) but that doesn't sound bright to me at all. If anything, it really channels Mark Knopfler's '59 LP. At least at the beginning of the video for SURE. Killer sounds, as always!

I have never heard of that luthier before - thanks for sharing. I have a poor man's version of that pickup combination - Yamaha PAC611hfm. It really is versatile, although not quite as bright as some of my other guitars - not a bad thing.

Hello, Dan ! That's a wondeful glorious guitar ! Are you also planning on your Gretsch guitar introduced? That'd be fantastic for more videos ! A fanboy of this channel, by the way ! :)

I'd try a reverse of the pickup positions - the P90 at the bridge, and the hummer at the neck.

YES! \m/

Simply B E A U Tiful! What is the finish on the back of the neck? Satin? Oiled?

sorry if missed that in the video, but what color is that, a custom one? looks brighter than CAR (looks amazing btw!!!)

Pretty! (the guitar)

You should use the combination of the ac30 and the super reverb in more videos, sounds ace!!!!!

Dan you should try a B & G Private Build Little Sister, they are just awesome!

Do I see a mic'd vox back there? What OD pedal are you using? love the tone!

Defo the winner for me

The mighty Krauster! Mine arrived a couple weeks ago. Twas' love at first strum. Dan, my only quirk is the bridge humbucker. Which model did Nik send you? Was it the Hausser or another model?

Can't wait till we get onto pedal boards.... Mick's video... "I've got a Klon, King of Tone, and ARDX20"..... Dan's video.... 14 days later we're still going through all his compressors :D

So Dans the Single Cut guy and Micks and Double Cut guy? Love this btw Dan, thought the neck joint looked quite unusual, had a look at Nik Hubers site and it certainly is, in a good way of course! Almost looks like a cross between your tele and your les paul if you changed the pickguard to a white one.

Really like the addition of the guitars & gears segments! Any specifics on your "high action"? Are we talking SRV territory, read somewhere like 7/64 E and 6/64 e at 12th fret? I live around 4/64 E and 3/64 e with 10s, and just a hair of neck relief. Decent guitars let me get away with this with no/minimal buzzing.

Holy hell where do I get me one of those...

Even if I may waït a long long long time to be able to get one, could you, Dan' give me the pickup height settings in .../64 inch for P90 , low and trebble side ? It would be so so gentle !!!! Best regards from France

On my must have list now thanks to you, also have you tried a James Tyler?

You are correct, high wind humbuckers are NOT bright - the old stuff just wasn't that HOT! Overwound pickups have their place, for some things.

Can you guys PLEASE do an episode about YOUR pedalboards? The desert island board ep was great and in the Captain ep you get a quick flash of Dan's but I want to see a detailed rundown of what's currently on both Dan's & Mick's pedalboards.

when are you playing in Japan this year?

Is it as warm as a Les Paul or more clear and trebly sounding guitar ?

Funny how Dan keeps saying how much he likes how bright it is and all the tones are super murky :P Certainly looks amazing though! :)

So...I'm thinking "that's a purdy guitar..I'm gonna get me one"....and then I find the price..(cue sound of jaw hitting floor) and I realize I'm not getting get one anytime soon. Bah.

What's the fingerboard radius? Looks pretty flat. I just got a Tele with a 9.5" radius and I'm used to 12+. I've never worked that hard to bend. LOL

Looks like Kilminster persuaded you to get a brunetti amp!

Dan, you must reveal the chords being played at 3:33 onwards!

Is there no way to adjust the intonation on that bridge?

What pickup is now in the bridge?

You're coming to Japan? I would be happy to show you around the pedal shops etc in Tokyo . if you are interested let me know. I'm American and been here for 20 years. I know all the guitar stores around.

does the P90 in the neck give more clarity than your average humbucker while still maintaining the warm characteristics of a neck pickup?

you both have great taste in guitars, but I'm curious, no semis?

Hi...would you guys ever consider talking about pickup height? Thanks

Ohh my God why did you never show us that flamed neck?!?! so beautiful man! So is it a solid body or chambered? Almost sounds like in between a Gibson Les Paul and the 335, super resonant with a lot of balls

It's nice to know that entonates well, because with that bridge you don't get a lot of options right? hehe

Wow that thing is awesome. I want one. I think I'll sell my car.

I've always been curious about the P90/humbucker combo, great sounds Dan!

Great guitar !!! But did you pay for it :) ? Or an offer from Nick ?

Can I have that harlot off your wall? It seems like it doesn't want to be artwork to me ;)

Never saw you play in on the show. Wonder why?

Have you still got the Krauster Dan?

That's a great guitar. I love LP style guitars and I'd probably grab one if it was in sunburst... with Gibson on the head-stock. Yes, I am THAT shallow! :P

"It’s such a bright guitar" - uses super dark overdriven tone, so nobody can hear it. Just kidding, sounds great and I love Nik’s guitars. The Krautster II is very high on my "next guitar to buy list". Your tone here is still too dark for my taste. I like a high cutting-through-the-mix tone better. But anyway, it’s all preference.

That tone tho fuckkk

besides ruokangas hubers are the best guitars in the world.end of story. : ) i have two of them myself and the reason i only own two is bescause i have not enough money to buy all their models :)

Bavarian guitar, Krautname perfect for Krautrock. I want one for the sake of bavarian patriotism but i can't afford that Krautpreis.

What a wicked guitar p90 in the neck bound body what a neck that would be my lp junior style search over! Pure porn!

nitro or poly finish?

I love it I really do but the body is just too big for me. Why so big? Some of us have neck issues etc.why did u change the bridge pup? Too powerful? I missed what u said. Gotta go back now n find it. 😖 ok so u didn't like the very hot bridge pup? I would love it. It comes in at 16k. And the neck as u said is huge. Too big for me. Beautiful, cool looking guitar. I'll have to enjoy it from a distance.

Super guitar, no doubt, but four grand?

*googles Nik's site and then "how many organs can I sell and still be alive?"*

I guess the name drop horn was not appropriate for this video :-)

This guy seems to know everyone

Whatever happened to this guitar? Haven't seen it any any recent videos.

that is my fave guitar on the show. Every time you break it out I get serious GAS.

What are you doing in Japan Dan? Come to Hong Kong! We'll look after you...
