Epiphone Nighthawk

[neilpanda]

hmm, WOW I understand what a lot of guys mean by epi making cheap copies of gibbys guitars,

and I understand that they want to make the same guitars available to the public for a lower

price but, this is ridiculous. but who knows? it could be another one of epi's 'good guitars'

but here, take a look.

Lots of talk about these on the epi forum, have to say they look very good and quality woods in the manufacturing. nice touch having the ebony fretboard. I would seriously consider one.

Glad you finally noticed. B)

Oh, quit your whining. It's the affordability and concomitant volume of these lower price point guitars that keeps the company as a whole viable. Without them, Gibsons would probably not be made. Or, if they were, a four figure price would be a pipe dream.

 

I would, however, like to see more historic Epiphone specific, solid body guitars made, like the Scroll. The Wilshire was a step in the right direction.

dare i say it but the more i read over the specs.. the more i prefer the epi!!

[cabba2203]

I like those a lot. I might pick one up too.

No doubt.

Poplar vs. Mahogany

Rosewood vs. Ebony

Standard vs. Custom

 

The only thing I like better about the Gibson are the AAA maple tops.
