Epiphone Nighthawk Custom Electric Guitar


 

The Return of a NEW Classic!

When the Nighthawk was first introduced in 1993, it represented a departure from “tradition” with its 25.5″ scale length and its versatile combination of coil-splitting

humbucker and single coil pickups. Break-through designs don’t always catch on right away. Such was the case with many now-iconic guitars including the Flying-V,

the Explorer and even the Les Paul. Now, 18 years later, guitarists who originally dismissed the Nighthawk as too “different,”

now recognize what a great guitar it really was and still is! Great Tonewoods & Premium Construction! The design of the Nighthawk is essentially a

combination of an SG (with a lower bout and thinner body) and a Les Paul (upper bout). Like those classic guitars, the Nighthawk features a solid mahogany

body (with added “belly” scarf for comfort) and a glued-in SlimTaper™ 25 1/2″ scale mahogany neck for a well rounded, warm tone with excellent sustain.

The headstock is back-angled at 14 degrees, which increases pressure on the strings and helps them stay firmly in nut slots. To add brilliance as well as a smooth,

durable playing surface, the Nighthawk Custom is fitted with a rosewood fingerboard, a favorite of serious guitar players for its resistance to wear.
