Has anyone played a gibson nighthawk. I'm thinking I want one but want so feedback how it is?
I bought a Gibson Nighthawk a couple of years ago on Ebay and it has become one of my favourite guitars (over 100 in the collection.)
For me the Nighthawk combines the best elements of a Les Paul and a Strat and in fact that was the original intent. Bottom line is it looks great and is a very versatile instrument for playing live because of the pickup selection and coil tap switch.
Perhaps the best recommendation of the Nighthawk that I can think of is when I took it to NY to play with 70's rock incons Starz. Their lead guitarist, Richie Ranno, is a died-in-the-wool Strat guy but once he'd had my Nighthawk strapped on for a few minutes he fell in love.
