This guitar is in excellent condition, neck and frets are fine, cosmetically quite clean.

The Nighthawk made a major splash when it first hit the scene in 1993, and through its several evolutions this guitar continues to be popular with a wide range of players featuring traditional and modern design features.
While it clearly takes influence from the Les Paul, the Nighthawk Studio has been designed to provide an updated playing feel, superb resonance and sustain, and a big, bold tone, as well as a more contemporary look. It has a solid mahogany body with a glued-in neck made from solid quarter-sawn mahogany, carved to a traditional SlimTaper profile that measures .808" at the 1st fret and .875" at the 12th. The neck is topped with a 22-fret fingerboard made from torrefied maple, a super sturdy and clear-sounding heat-treated hardwood, and a Nighthawk headstock with mother-of-pearl Gibson logo and holly inlay. The Nighthawk Studio's 25-1/2" scale length yields all the chime and twang of longer-scale guitars, while classic set-neck construction retains punch and sustain. Through-body stringing coupled with a unique and highly adjustable Nighthawk bridge and a PLEK-cut Corian nut (1.625" wide) further enhance resonance and sustain.

The Nighthawk Studio packs a pair of Gibson's popular BurstBucker humbuckers—loaded in with double-black open coils—a BB1 in the neck position and a slightly hotter BB2 in the bridge. Made with unpolished Alnico II magnets and authentic 42-AWG enamel-coated wire, these are some of the most accurate reproductions of vintage PAF humbuckers available today. They are enhanced with push-pull switching on the master tone control to split the coils of each unit, yielding useful single-coil tones independently or in combination through the three-way selector switch. From rich, warm, bluesy humbucker tones in the neck position, to roaring lead voices in the bridge, to twangy single-coil tones and funky in-between tones, this simple control array makes the Nighthawk Studio a stunningly versatile instrument.

Interesting made in USA Gibson, weighing in at 7.0 lbs. This guitar plays good, sounds good, looks good!

Original gig bag included.

If you ask they will be answered. They are free and there's no limit. Additional photos can also be made available.
