HEADKNOCKER Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 My Son David picked this " The Hawk" up for a trade of a crappy $100 indo Parker PDF60 + another bill + tax. We have already changed pickups = Seymour Duncan P-Rail + Triple Shot switchable ring & I just finished up putting "A Little Thunder" in the neck & also added a 2nd output jack for going to a bass amp. I'll have to get picks of the finished guitar later on.. Here's what it looked like when He came across it @ MGR -----> Gibson "The Hawk" Music Go Round He also put a sticker over the FOTL logo on the body & headstock.. Being he already has a Blueshawk & Nighthawk the Hawk feels right at home with it's 25 1/2" scale.. This is the cheapest Gibson we've ever come across YET!! ROCK ON!!

Megafrog Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 I don't understand why he would cover up the fruit of the loom sticker. .On a serious note, how does it stack up to the Nighthawk and Blueshawk? I have both of the other Hawks but haven't convinced myself that a regular Hawk is a need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEADKNOCKER Posted April 19, 2017 Author Share Posted April 19, 2017 He didn't care for the FOTL logo, they make men's underwear btw but doesn't look outrageous.. The Hawk has become one of his favorite guitars.. It also gave me a bridge pickup for our jackson DK2M pile of skulls.. He says the bridge gives him a nice place to dig in kinda like the early Lesters do.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabeck5 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 The "Hawks" are IMHO one of the most undervalued Gibson's out there. I picked up a brand new Nancy Wilson Nighthawk for $800 on clearance, absolutely great guitar, especially after I replaced that stupid truss rod cover.

Straightblues Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 I just got one of these "The Hawk" guitas. It is a very cool guitar. I have had several custom shop Gibson Les Pauls and a few older SG's. This thing is special. The 25 1/2 scale length and the thin slab of mahogany give this guitar great tone. I love it. Higher end Gibsons are great but don't over look the cheaper ones. Thing thing has great tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
