The Huber Piet retains everything we love about Huber’s work: obsessive attention to detail, elegant lines, gorgeous tonewoods, effortless playability, and tones that inspire.

When a luthier known for meticulous, mahogany-bodied guitars shifts gears, you pay attention. For Nik Huber, the Piet wasn’t born from a business plan, it came from a drive to stretch his craft. “We’ve always been associated with the warmth and character of mahogany,” Nik explains. “But I wanted to break out of that comfort zone. Building something in the alder-body, maple-neck tradition pushed me as a builder. That exploration is what led to the Piet.”

And what an exploration it is.

The Piet retains everything we love about Huber’s work: obsessive attention to detail, elegant lines, gorgeous tonewoods, effortless playability, and tones that inspire. But it’s also a departure. Stripped-down and Fender-esque, the Piet feels intentionally different - lighter, leaner, more agile. A nod to tradition with just enough edge to feel entirely new.

And then there are the details - those subtle flourishes that elevate a great guitar into something exceptional. Look closer at the tremolo: that’s not a Jazzmaster-style unit, but Chris Swope’s innovative Descendant bridge and tremolo system. The Tele-style saddles add a snappy, percussive clarity that makes the Piet a standout even among boutique builds.
