95 Gibson Nighthawk in Fireburst with Original HS Case Swiss Army Knife of Tone
1995 Gibson Nighthawk USA made. Fireburst finish with Gibson Deluxe tuners. Discontinued by GIBSON in 1999. This guitar has a single cutaway mahogany body, with a multi-ply bound, quarter inch figured flame maple top, the cutaway is more pointy than a Les Paul. The Nighthawk Standard had a bound mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard with pearl parallelogram inlays.

This is a very, very nice piece, stays in tune well, and is the swiss army knife of killer tone. Comes with the original Gibson HS case. The Gibson Nighthawk was a family of electric guitars manufactured by Gibson. Introduced in 1993, the Nighthawk represented a radical change from traditional Gibson designs.

While its maple-capped mahogany body and set neck were reminiscent of the classic Gibson Les Paul, the Nighthawk incorporated a number of characteristics more commonly associated with Fender guitars. But the Nighthawk was not a commercial success; production of all models was discontinued in 1998 after only five years. With its set neck and maple-capped mahogany body, the Nighthawk is structurally and aesthetically a Gibson, but certain key aspects of its design take it into Fender territory. The slanted bridge humbucker has less gain than the regular Gibson humbucker and has a bright, sharp tone which in single-coil mode is similar to that of Fender's Telecasters and Stratocasters. The Nighthawk's scale length (the distance from the nut to the bridge) is Fender's standard 25½" rather than Gibson's usual 24¾". This important difference, which requires greater tension for a given gauge of strings, makes the guitar feel more like a Fender from a playing perspective and adds to the tonal similarities. The Nighthawk's body is closer in mass to a Fender guitar than a typical Gibson Les Paul, and the string-through-body bridge is similar to that of the Telecaster.
