Epiphone Nighthawk Custom Reissue Electric Guitar in a Honeyburst Finish


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 SlimTaper(tm) 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 push/pull 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 & Premium Features!  
Epiphone is known for making great, affordable instruments and the Nighthawk Custom is no exception.  One of the first things you notice is the gorgeous Flame Maple top in rich, see-through finishes and the mother-of-pearl "crown" inlays on the fingerboard.  Premium 14:1 ratio Grover(tm) machine heads make for excellent  tuning accuracy and stability while Epiphone's heavy-duty output jack and long-lasting 1" potentiometers make for worry-free opertion.  

The Total Package!  
Combined with Epiphone’s Limited Lifetime Warranty backed by 24/7/365 Customer Service, you can rest assured that the Nighthawk Classic will give you years of worry-free performance.  So if you missed out on the first Nighthawks because you thought they were a little too"different." now's your chance to redeem yourself and pick up this NEW classic for a great price!
