It is a strange bird. It seems pretty versatile though based on the video.

It's funny that you bring this up. I was just looking at a Gibson Nighthawk on CL.

I have never seen one in person but have heard good things about them.

 

IMO, the one on ebay is a very nice looking guitar. Once again, I'm happy to be a lefty. Saves me a lot of money!!!

It's just another variation on the BluesHawk. I briefly played one this summer. The 3 different p_ups

(soapbar, fender-esque SC and diagonal humbucker provides some very unique tones.

It's got a 5 way Strat style switch , master volume and tone, and the strings are strung through the

body. They were offered as a STANDARD (split parallelogram inlays) , CUSTOM and Special (no frills/dot inlays).

 

What is really unique is it's sister (cousin?) guitar, the LP sized...."Little Lucille"...P-90s and the varitone.

These are very scarce because only a few of them were made between 1996-2006 and came only in Ford Model T

colours... ebony, like the LP Custom. Find one of those, and you better have it under lock and key when you're not playing it..

.. these are worth their weight in gold!
