1998 Gibson Nighthawk Solidbody Electric Guitar

Overview: This Nighthawk is like a "choose your own adventure" version of a Gibson electric. It's got a longer scale length, a mix of pickup types, a set neck, and a futuristic version of a Les Paul body shape. It's like the company was trying to appeal to everyone who didn't yet play a Gibson when they designed this.

Tone: It moves around from clean and fairly bright and sweet to midsy and snarly depending on the position you're in on the switch.

Feel: It's got a fast, modern neck profile with a typical (for modern Gibson) 12" radius to the board.

Interesting features: What isn't? You've got three different pickup types, a bridge design more akin to a Fender product, a simplified wiring harness, and an eye-catching natural finish over the maple of the top.

Repairs included: It got a level/dress of the frets and setup via Jose and it's playing spot-on and ready to serve.
