Epiphone Nighthawk Custom Electric Guitar
The Return of a NEW Classic! When a new guitar design is introduced, history says that guitarists don't immediately accept it. Such was the case with many, now iconic guitars including the Flying V, Explorer and even the Les Paul. But ultimately, if the design is a great one it will stand the test of time and eventually, find it's place into the guitarist's arsenal of "go to" axes. When the Nighthawk was first introduced in 1993, it represented a departure from Gibson "tradition" with it's 25.5" scale length and it's versatile combination of coil tappable humbucking and single pickups. Now, 18 years later, guitarists who originally dismissed the Nighthawk as too "different" now recognize what a great guitar it really was and is!Great Tone Woods & Premium Construction! The design of the Nighthawk is essentially a combination of a SG lower bout and thinner body and a Les Paul upper bout. Like those classic guitars, it features a solid Mahogany body with added "belly" scarf for comfort and a glued in SlimTapertm Mahogany neck giving it a well rounded, warm tone with excellent sustain. To add brilliance as well as a smooth, durable playing surface, the Nighthawk Custom is fitted with an Ebony fingerboard. For even more tonal spice as well as killer looks, a AAA Flame Maple veneer is glued to the top. And don't forget, the Nighthawk bridge, with it's "string thru" body design, ensures even more sustain and power.Versatility and Function! With it's unique pickup package that includes a full size NHT humbucker bridge, a NSX single coil middle and a NHR mini humbucker neck combined with a 5 way slider and pushpull coil tapping tone knob, you have 9 different "tones" at your fingertips. From a powerful and warm humbucker to the unique clarity of a mini HB to a thin, bright single coil and everything in between you can do it all.Killer Looks & Pr Close...
