When the Nighthawk was first introduced in 1993, it represented a departure from Gibson tradition with it's 25.5" scale length and it's versatile combination of coil-tappable humbucking and single pickups. The design of the Nighthawk is essentially a combination of an SG (lower bout and thinner body) and a Les Paul (upper bout). Like those classic guitars, it features a solid mahogany body and adds a AAA Flame Maple veneer and a glued-in SlimTaper Mahogany neck with an ebony fingerboard. The Nighthawk bridge is a string-thru-body design for more sustain. The Nighthawk's unique pickup package that includes a full-size NHT humbucker (bridge), a NSX single-coil (middle) and a NHR mini-humbucker (neck) combined with a 5-way slider and push/pull coil-tapping tone knob, for 9 different switching options. |
