From Our Research Team:

The Classic Nighthawk Is Back

Like the rest of the lineup of now classic models first introduced by Gibson, including the Flying-V, the Explorer, and even the now epically popular Les Paul, the Nighthawk was far from an overnight success. Back in 1993, when the Nighthawk first hit the scene, its 25-1/2" scale, coil-tappable humbuckers, and angular single cutaway body shape (a departure from Gibson's traditional style) were less than thrilling to manny diehard Gibson players. After 18 years, many of the same guitarists who originally snubbed the Nighthawk have come to realize how cool this unique instrument is.



The Epiphone Nighthawk Custom Reissue lets you join in the celebration, with this unbelievably affordable model. You'll love the way your fingers race across the Nighthawk Custom Reissue's SlimTaper D-shape neck. Its pair of 4-wire humbuckers and blazing hot NSX single-coil pickup give you a wide tonal pallet, and its "String-Thru Body" bridge design provides plenty of sustain. If you're looking for an instrument that will let you explore an incredible range of natural tone, then you're going to love the Nighthawk Custom Reissue from Epiphone!

The Best Value i've come across in my 25 years of playing

by Warren from New York, NY
May 4, 2011
Music Background: Hobbiest/ Amatuer Musician
First off i have to say i've owned the original Gibson Custom shop nighthawk with the same pickup configuration. This guitar is an equal to that. This guitar seemed like it was carefully crafted even ... read more [+]though the guitar says it was made in Indonesia. Also i have to be honest and say i did not but this guitar from Sweetwater. This was only because they did not have this in stock. Sweetwater has much better support then the other stores and internet music sites I have bought from including where i bought this guitar from. I was very nervous and fortunately didn't have a problem on this one but when you buy at Sweetwater you know if there are any issues you know you'll be taken cared of. This guitar is work of Art from Epiphone at an amazingly low price. Cheers. close [-]

This is an incredible guitar!

by John Shields from Los Angeles

Music Background: Retired musician - been playing for ~45 years
Just got my Nighthawk last week from Sweetwater and I have to say how impressed I am with the quality of this thing. The finish is beautiful, I tuned it up and it played super smoothly. I think when... read more [+] I played the first few notes I said to myself, "Wow!" The sounds comign out of it are amazing. I'm sure I still haven't figured out all the sounds I can get from it. It really is a dream to play and, did I mention, it's really cool, too -- not just the same old les-paul-type axe that everyone else has. I really can't get over the attention to detail you get on this guitar, especially for the price. Only reason for the 4.5 rating is that I'm super picky and the slot in the top for the selector switch could have been finished a little better. Otherwise, I'm really happy I got this thing. Really happy with Sweetwater so far, too. close [-]
