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

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 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.

GREAT AXE FOR THE DOLLARS

Just got this item yesterday and cannot put it down. Great addition to my collection. finish and quality are superb.The craftsmanship is like gibson. the color in picture does not do it justice (got the Honeyburst).The sound is incredable,intonation bang on ,well made quitar for the price. The features are insane for a guitar of this price coil tapping whooo what an axe well worth the dollars grab one before they are gone. P>S> very light weight.

A GRAND SLAM 5 STAR GUITAR

A 5 STAR KNOCK OUT GUITAR IN EVERY RESPECT. THE ATTENTION TO DETAIL, CRAFTSMANSHIP, AND SUPERIOR PLAYABILITY AND SOUND ARE UNMATCHED AT ANY PRICE. I OWN GIBSON'S, FENDER'S, ESP, GRETSCH'S, AND RICKENBACKER'S AND THIS GUITAR WILL HOLD ITS OWN WITH ANY OTHER GUITAR COSTING 5 TIMES THE PRICE. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS GUITAR. BUY ONE AND YOU ARE GOING TO BE TO HIGHLY IMPRESSED WITH THIS AMAZING INSTRUMENT. A PHOTO DOES NOT DO JUSTICE TO THIS BEAUTIFUL GUITAR.. I WILL NO DOUBT PURCHASE A SECOND NIGHTHAWK IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

This is an incredible guitar!

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 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.
