BLUE WHALE
LIMITED CHARITY EDITION

It‘s all about the Blue Whale!

And therefore no coincidence that this extraordinary guitar shares its name with the giant of the oceans. In cooperation with whale researcher Richard Sears, Nik Huber Guitars offers this stunning piece of guitar art in a 25 pieces limited edition.

The profit from this special edition Blue Whale will support Sears’s Mingan Island Cetacean Study’s research (MICS) devoted to the conservation of this most impressive but endangered whale species.
