Epiphone Nighthawk Guitar

Lightweight, comfortable, great looking and amazingly versatile, the Epiphone Nighthawk sets itself apart from the pack. Introduced by Gibson in 1993 the Nighthawk's dare-to-be-different looks are mirrored in this Epiphone version The Nighthawk's beauty is far more than skin deep. Under the hood this guitar is loaded for versatility and performance. The unique Nighthawk pickup package of a bridge humbucker, a single-coil in the middle, and a mini-humbucker in the neck yield a mind-boggling array of tones through a five-way switch and push-pull coil taps, allowing you to access anything from classic fat, creamy Les Paul tones to spikier single-coil-style jangle and chime. The unique through-body Nighthawk bridge provides outstanding sustain and resonance, while the guitar's 25-1/2" scale length adds extra shimmer and sparkle to the brew, and gives you a firm low-E string for gnarly low-down blues runs and biting twang.
