The catalog centers on original designs alongside takes on classic single-cut and bolt-on formats. Models include the Dolphin and Dolphin '59, the Orca and Krautster single-cuts, the Piet, Redwood, Surfmeister, Twangmeister, and Rietbergen, as well as custom builds. The Krautster and Orca are often compared to Les Paul–style instruments, while the Dolphin, Twangmeister, and Rietbergen sit closer to Telecaster territory. The company also offers a bass option and frequently produces one-off instruments with highly figured tonewoods.

Nik Huber instruments have a reputation in the boutique and collector market for build quality and tone, and have been used by players including Nate Mendel of Foo Fighters, Michael League of Snarky Puppy, and James Johnston of Biffy Clyro.
