Doug;
Thanks for starting this. I am glad to contribute to the BluesHawk Club, and as a newbie no less - how about that timing? So I looked back into my records and I see that it has been ten years and about a month since I bought my '97 ebony BluesHawk S/N 93437501 in a used guitar store in San Jose, CA. Time sure flies, it seems like yesterday. I paid $475 for it so it looks like it has been a good investment for me over time but its real value is in the playing. I am not a musician, I just love guitars, I play for fun and for the neighbors whether they like it or not. The guitar is nice, far from perfect as it looks like it got some heavy use from the PO. Some minor buckle rash and a couple of small dings but overall it is in pretty good shape. I sometimes have to wiggle the pickup switch as it cuts out in some varitone positions but that doesn't happen too often. And lastly the frets were dressed not too long ago by a guy who knew what he was doing and that took care of some buzz in the 5th and 6th strings between the 4th and 6th frets, it plays great. I run it through a fairly new Vox Pathfinder 15R.
I think that about covers it, I hope my photo comes through. Anyone else out there?
