daveinspain Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Hi All... Just got some pics of my blueshawks. These are great guitars and both are near mint! I was lucky to get these as they are both in excellent condition and I bought them from different sellers on Ebay. These are very well balanced, light weight guitars. The black one is a 1998 and the red is a 1997. Here I present the evil twins... This guitar still has the plastic on the electronics covers I have been having a ball playing these guitars, they play great!! They both can use some tweaking but just minor set up stuff. The gamut of sounds you can get using the 6 position rotary switch together with the pick up selector seems endless... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveinspain Posted January 10, 2010 Author Share Posted January 10, 2010 Great score Dave. Did you have any issues getting them back home? Not home yet... Still trying to decide what to do... I may ship one and hand carry one. Shipping scares the crap out of me though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundergod Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Congratulations Dave! Wonderful guitars as always, your collection is awesome. I'll go ahead and ask for a pic of all of them when you get the chance I've been GASsing for a nighthawk or a blueshawk for a while... you are lucky to have bought 2 in mint condition. Congratulations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shipping scares the crap out of me though... I was curious, because I am flying out to Philly tomorrow, and have not flown since the Christmas Day BS. Good luck, they are real beauties.

Riffster Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 I would like to try a 25.5" sacle on a Gibson just to see how it feels. Nice guitars man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveinspain Posted January 10, 2010 Author Share Posted January 10, 2010 wow' date=' something lightweight and cool looking, very tempting..............[/quote'] I'm telling you guys. These Blueshawk guitars are the deal of the century... They were well under $1000. You can get them from between $600 and $1000. It's a Gibson, plays great, light very, can be used for Jazz blues or rock... They come with the Blues 90 pick up which is a P90 but has a dummy coil in it that cancels out the hum just like a humbucker but sounds like a P90. Not to mention the 6 way rotary switch... Good investment and great guitar to own and play. Going up in value fast.. Just sayin'... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I get red or Black:-k ? Screw it I'll get both!!!". [biggrin] . Didn't quite happen that way but that's sort of how it turned out... I had been looking for a red one but kept loosing the auctions. Then the black one came up and it was really nice and with the original hard shell case so I bid on it and won. A couple weeks later the red one came up so I bid on that and won it too. I am lucky I have the extra cash to do that now but I also know it was money well spent and I will never loose a dime of it, in fact I could make money if I wanted to sell in a few years....

rocketman Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Couldn't of said it better! I've never had the pleasure of playing one so I, like many people hear, can't wait until you tell us more about their feel and sound. Congrats on two fine acquisitions...

NeoConMan Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 I never played one when they were hanging in the stores because I was too much of a Gibson purist. Okay, snob... Now you never see them. Being a big P-90 guy I should own one, eh? Great score Dave!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirstMeasure Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Love Them Hawks!! Great Going Dave!! The red one would just match my Nighthawk, so if you let one go....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
