Description
Condition: This is a great playing nighthawk with an awesome look. There are scratches, nicks, dings, dents and chips throughout the guitar. There are several small dings throughout the top along with some pick scratches and surface scratches near the control knobs. There are some finish cracks by the control knobs and along the pickups likely due to changes in the weather and atmosphere. There are small scratches and dings throughout the back though only a few are very noticeable. There is some light “hazing” on the back which may have been caused by a reaction the lacquer had to a packing material. It requires close-up inspection under light to be visible however. The fingerboard and frets have very light play wear and plenty of life left in them. The neck is very straight and the truss rod functions fine. All electronics and parts are in perfect working condition.
Body: Solid contoured mahogany body with bound top in Silverburst finish. String-through-body design with six individual saddles, dual skirted control knobs with silver inserts and a slider selector switch.
Neck: Slender mahogany neck with bound baked maple fingerboard, pearloid dot inlays and a 1 11/16” nut. Kluson Deluxe Double Stripe tuners with ivoroid buttons, 25.5” scale length.
Pickups/Electronics: Gibson BB1 humbucker in the neck and a BB 2 humbucker in the bridge with master volume control, master push/pull tone control for coil tapping and a 3-way selector switch.
Neck: 7.37K Ohms.
Bridge: 7.73K Ohms.
Weight: 6lbs, 11.5oz.
Playability/Sound: The Nighthawk Studio is a great take on the classic Nighthawk design. The pickups offer amazing output with rich, even dynamics and tons of sustain. The smaller body size and the slender neck really make this guitar comfortable to play!
Case: Includes unoriginal hardshell case.
