Critic Reviews

Nik Huber Dolphin Surfmeister review | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

Nik Huber's Surfmeister is a dazzling piece of craftsmanship for those willing to shell out for quality. This semi-hollow electric boasts stunning aesthetics with its metallic Ice Blue finish and meticulous attention to detail, from the aged nickel hardware to the perfectly finished frets. The sound is equally compelling, with Harry Häussel's 'TroneBucker' pickups delivering a rich tonal palette that suits blues, rock, and surf styles effortlessly. While the price tag is steep, the Surfmeister promises an investment in both sound and lasting value, making it a worthy contender for serious musicians seeking a standout instrument.
