Cruznolfart Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Here's another model that's caught my eye; a '96 Blueshawk. Anyone have any playing time on these? I love the semi's, and the size of the Blueshawk is much smaller than the ES's. Add the Blues 90 PU's and the vari-tone circuit and you've got yerself a *****in' little axe. And check the price! Does it turn your head or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notes_Norton Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 I'd love one, but the economy and therefore the gigs are down right now so I can't justify the expense. Notes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hall Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Negative remarks (or any semblence to such) directed at ES models will not be tolerated on this forum. That was a nice looking guitar in its own right though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeBudfrumHull_SG Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Very nice looking axe , it's like a cross between a LP & a ES . Is it lighter than a Les Paul too ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruznolfart Posted September 16, 2009 Author Share Posted September 16, 2009 Oh, yeah! I saw that blue one with the Bigsby, too, really looks like a fun instrument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FirstMeasure Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 I can tell you about the Feel, as the Nighthawk is the same Bodystyle and Neck set up (minus the F holes). It plays like a dream. The semi Hallow with p-90's sounds just like you'd expect. Thick and Smooth. As far as looks, it takes a little getting used to. When I first got my Nighthawk I didn't like how small it looked. After a couple weeks I got used to it. There's nothing cooler than having a Rare Bird with Gibson Tone and a Great Player to boot. Definitely a conversation starter and a Show stopper. On a side note, they made a BB King inspired Blues Hawk for a while, called the "Little Lucille".

And I agree, the odd bird is most appealing to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote'] Our season is coming soon, and starting in October things pick up (peaking in December, February and March). But it hasn't been the same since the economy tanked. I'm making enough to keep afloat, but I've had to tighten my belt. I'm thankful because there are a lot of people who are sinking. I love light guitars, I love P90 pickups, and I put P90s and a Varitone on a cheap LTD guitar I modded but I would love a BluesHawk in any color but black (red or blue preferred).
