Artie Owl Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 +1 Big Kahune, I made sure to read before I pre-ordered. And Mojo, I'm no longer in the dog house, all is forgiven. Specifically she said "get it all out of your system now because when we have a house and kids you won't be able to spend that money on guitars." God I love that woman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artie Owl Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Another another update, she was mad again, but only because I didn't discuss it more before pre-ordering it, but f'real it's all good now, BTW, I ordered the flame burst if anyone is interested. Can't wait for May/June/July now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigKahune Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Artillery Owl - Tell you what. Lookin at the MSRP, the street price should be very decent. I'm thinkin' about throwin' down on it. B) I've got an Epi LP Ultra II, mahogany, etc. Love it. It needs a mate. B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For amount of guitar you get I'd be upset if I let this one go by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FirstMeasure Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 This is a Reissue after my own heart, both of 'em (both Nighthawks, that is). For the record, I don't just "Have a nighthawk", I gig with my Nighthawk regularly. That and a Strat are two I always bring along. Oddly enough the Epiphone is the one I'm really looking forward to trying out. If it's as faithful to the Original Gibson as it seems then It's going right in my frontline. The new Gibson reissue looks pretty cool, too, but the Poplar body and Maple neck give me pause. That will probably change the deep heavy tones and sustain of the original Nighthawk. Really looking forward to trying them out side by side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparky scott 29 Posted January 9, 2011 Author Share Posted January 9, 2011 Just what I was waiting for.....I wanted to hear all the comments on this thing before I made up my mind... Did I hear right, may - july on delivery?? WOW.... Duncan ...hummm... Come on Duane, you know you want one.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirstMeasure Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Interesting.... All that for $400 That is the only part that gives me Pause. Maybe if that's an introductory price it could be a good time to get one before they jack the price up to where the LP Plus and Sheraton II. If, however, that price reflects the quality I'll be sorely disappointed. I will say that the new Gibby Nighthawk is an interesting guitar in it's own right. Not a lot of guitars made out of Poplar and Maple with a set neck and humbuckers. Don't know what to expect out of that, but all the ingredients are quality so it should really be something.

Shnate McDuanus Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I prefer the specs on the Epi, right down to the fact that it's mahogany and not poplar. I don't mind the veneer, either. Not a bad price, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ambienttales Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Hey, Gibson used (some) Poplar on the Gibson BluesHawk's and they sound great, I was lucky to buy one before they were dc'd (but it was used , but after discontinuation and with a OHSC they switched to gig bags near the end, the Vintage Guitar 2011 has a favorable price on them (for what that is worth :) I paid under $500.00 and then got it set up and cleaned up by a friend of a friend who owns a Gibson-epiphone Authorized Repair Center , I sure wish they would consider a BluesHawk reissue also Godin uses Polar in some of their guitars ? the semi hollow bodies (some with synth access or acoustic bridges the SGTX ? I think I am wrong on the model name they are still sold and have been since ? 2000? I would like to try out both the Gibson and Epiphone I own one Epiphone a Elitist Series '57 Goldtop MIJ Les Paul and it plays superbly , with HSC I would not sell that one (unless absolute necessary) The Elistists were very good, I only wish I had the $ to get a ES-335 and maybe a Byrdland or Chet Atkins model ? why they dc'd that series another ?
