Andre S Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 I must say that is a really nice Gibson and at a great price range too! Don't really like the nighthawks though.....it looks like a LP dropped on its butt and everything shifted The Chicago Blue is the best colour though~! There is a 2009 Edition Nighthawk at Wildwoodguitars, NOS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff-7 Posted November 19, 2010 Author Share Posted November 19, 2010 I just wish they wouldn't do such a limited run, trapezoid inlays would have been a plus as well. Overall I'm pretty impressed with the specs, especially for the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamman Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Nice guitars, I like what Gibson is doing, but there is more comming. Good bang for the buck. I would like to see this in a soild body & Maple cap setup. Even a 2 piece back would be cool. I don't like the Chambered guitars. But that's just my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damian Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Nice guitar; string through, awesome tops and colors, light weight, $1500.00 or less for a skilled shopper....I don't consider poplar a hardwood, but.....and 4.4 lbs, nice.... This is perhaps what Guitarest is looking for.......Just today I recieved a guitar which I chose to fill the role of a nighthawk; Semihollow, no F-holes, goldtop, one HB and one P-90..... Now this work of art.......Beautiful !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the post..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jnastynebr Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 I love the maple necks. Not sure about the poplar body, though. Last guitar with a poplar that I played was a Squire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chase1410 Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 I love the maple necks. Not sure about the poplar body, though. Last guitar with a poplar that I played was a Squire. My thoughts exactly...I always considered poplar a cheap tone-wood..It was pretty cheap when I worked at Home-Depot as well compared to other woods...

Thundergod Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 I'd buy the blue one. I'd like it better if it had jjust 2 pickups and no middle position (useless) thingy. I'd like it best if it had 2 p90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff-7 Posted November 19, 2010 Author Share Posted November 19, 2010 I wonder what type of neck is on this thing, would it be a 50's thick or equal to a 60's thin? The price is right there with that Ibanez (MRP) in my previous thread. It comes with a case and I really like the Blue color I wonder how it sounds; kinda reminds me of the older LP Elites with the H/S/H and a 5 ways.. From what I gathered it's going to be close to a 60's neck, slim profile. As for the maple neck, with a Rosewood fingerboard is there going to be a lot of brightness to its sound? Not so sure about the poplar body but that AAA maple cap sure is nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirstMeasure Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 I wouldn't expect the Neck to feel like any Gibson you're used to. It has Slim (kinda like a 60's) neck profile, but a 25.5 inch scale length (like a fender). It'll probably feel like a fender with more rounded neck. That's kinda what my Nighthawk feels like, and except for a slightly wider fingerboard, the specs are pretty close to the original Nighthawk neck. Personally I'm a little disheartened by the lack of M-Series slanted Bridge Humbucker, but Burstbuckers are great, and it allows for easier Pickup Swap. The Poplar Body and Maple Neck give me pause, as well. I can't imagine it having the same Sustain as my '95. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
