Made in USA.Manche body type and Nighthawk of the same brand.
Special feature: the body is carved with two vents in the most beautiful effect f style 335 that open onto two small rooms résonnance.Mais the guitar is a solid-body still only half a body.
Very simple but perfect finish.
Two single coil pickups like Blues 90, edition of the famous P90
A three position selector style Strat.Un knob volume, one tone knob.
THE BONUS: A microphone hidden in the box "hum Canceling dummy coil" avoids the typical single coils hum and the selector "Varitone" dear to BB King can, but yes, 18 different sounds!
We just wish the original mechanical Gibson Deluxe, vintage of course, but averages required to issue agreement.

UTILIZATION

This guitar is incredibly fun to play, largely thanks to its low weight, a very good balance and a very nice run though the back veneer, what one can not appreciate.

SOUNDS

Obviously this is by no means, as its name implies, a metal guitar.
on the other hand, if we remain in its register, it's only bonheur.Et well beyond the blues ...
What is surprising at first is the power and balance in acoustique.C is already warm, full, full, précis.On finds himself without work hours so that the plug is sufficient unto itself.
So in a good all-tube ...
Thanks to Varitone, sounds cover a range from 335 to warm crunchy type specific type slamming Telecaster with all the intermediate stages (and Start sounds!). A very versatile guitar, therefore, an excellent complement to a LP by example.

OVERALL OPINION

I dreamed for a long time to supplement my Nighthawk ST3.Je have found used 600 euros in new condition with original case and I jumped on it.
Imagine what can happen if there Fender.Vous Gibson manufactured a guitar etes.Une unique, crisp, with a great look, sound and really different "guitaristic".
This is not a model on the cheap, far from it.
Try to adopt it.
By the way, have a look on http://www.blueshawk.info.
It's a Bible in English unfortunately.
