Bad penguin

They were all made in Japan by Matsumoku. they also released the Aria, Lyle, Diamond, under the same model number, with the only difference being the brand name on the headstock.

Lose the trem, make it a see thru finish with REAL wood, not crap mahogany with mahogany veneers, and make it one, maybe 2 pieces of wood. Add the binding around the neck and headstock, and drop the gold. Make the 3 pickups an option. (Personally 3 mini hums are the LAST combo I would own.) A 12 string version would be killer. Otherwise, looks ok.

Don't believe it has ever been refinished, but hey, it's always possible.

Posting pics here is a pain.....

Opps, double posted

Hey all, New Blueshawk fan, old time Gibson Player. Recently picked this beast up a couple of weeks ago, and love everything, well mostly, about it. My wife saw it in a store and went...."It's red, P90's and has F holes, You HAVE to own it. So as to avoid a fight with the wife came home with it! it's a 97 Blueshawk, push/pull added to the tone control to bypass the varitone, Blues 90 pickups, dummy coil, etc etc. Great playing and sounding instrument, but I noticed something about it that doesn't make sense to me. it doesn't have the Blueshawk name on the side of the neck pickup. Is that something Gibson did at times? or a mistake?
