bemb Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 I just bought this 2011 Gibson Studio Nighthawk and should be receiving it soon, What is the body made out of, some places say mahogany others say poplar which is it? They also show hat knobs on them and this one has speed knobs and it is suppose to be all original. I am Confused! Can anyone help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If yours have speed knobs they are probably not original to the guitar. That's an easy fix though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bemb Posted September 30, 2019 Author Share Posted September 30, 2019 Thanks for your help, could not even find a listing from Gibson anymore on it, I have owned quite a few Les Pauls from the 1970's until today and it seems like all of them have had different things than they had said, the last Custom I bought was in 2017 and it was brand new and it did not have the pickups they said it came with that is why I am not sure about this used guitar I bought, but thanks for your help! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, I think Gibson have been all over the place with their models. There has been so Many of them and so many variations of each.

bemb Posted September 30, 2019 Author Share Posted September 30, 2019 Yes, I researched it enough and find that the 2011 studio has a solid mahogany body and it should have hat knobs on it, so I ordered them, Thanks for your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
