Gibson Nighthawk Special (3 Pickup model)

this is where the nighthawk shines, tele strat and les paul all in one. the purests will say it doesn't do this or that! wrong it does it all, GREAT.the 3 pickup version is different from two. the five position switch is reversed on the humbucker on both guitars.plus its not to heavy.

i can play anthing with this guitar, but it shines on blues , rock and country. hotter then my strat and vert toneful

perfect,

no problems

never called

i love my nighthawks, i cant go back to my strat, the nighthawk rules the stage.

Plain maple top with mahogany back and neck. Heritage red finish with nitrocellulose lacquer. Set in neck meets body at 16 fret. 22 frets total. Rosewood fretboard. Vintage style tuners. 3 pickups, neck pickup: mini-humbucker, middle: NSX single coild, Bridge: Slanted Humbucker. ONe master volume, one master tone with a push pull pot to switch to single coil switching. Tele-like string-thru-body bridge (fixed). Top solid binding. Passive electronics. Les Paul-esque look.

Rainbow of sounds. During humbucking position with the tone knob pused down, the bridge pickup is extremely hot and strong. Hotter than normal humbuckers, but it lacks the crispiness and attack of a normal humbucker. The neck pickup has a pleasantly strong, but mellower tone of a Firebird. When set in single-coils mode with the tone know pulled up, the bridge pickup activates one slanted coild which mimics a Strat (but nowhere near as twangy or hot as a real strat coil) and middle NSX single-coil lacks both power and mellow sounds. But the bridge pickup and the neck pickup makes up for that. This guitar can mimic almost any guitar you can think of, except for Ibanez metally-sounds. Key word is mimics, it can replicate the sound of the real thing (Les Paul, Strat, tele, etc.) The slanted humbucker is a geniuos idea. Brigther sound due to very thing, extremely small body.

Guitar set-up was great, lasted okay for a pretty long time. Everything was fine when I first bought it. It's still in tip-top shape after 10 years. Shows that the money you put in with Gibson is worth it.

Guitar withstand 10 years and numerous gigs. Hardware is still in tip-top shape. No rusting, etc. Finish is holding up, but not without a few dings and scratches. I hate the strap buttons though, It's angled in a way that it will fall off pretty easy. Had it happen before, but too lazy to replace strap buttons with good ones. I would not use it on a gig without backup, I need a trusty ol' Strat with me all the time. Tuning keys aren't that great, if you play heavy or often, you need to tune it regularly.

Never dealt with Gibson, hopefully never have to.

Lovely guitar. Really one of Gibson's better. So many sounds, so many combos, and a lightweight guitar. I despise the strap-buttons and the tiny, tiny body. If it had been somewhat the size of an SG, I'd be happy. It'll still be light that way. Fingerboard isn't really great though. I can still see file marks, etc. But it plays okay. I run it through and ME-50 Guitar processor and a Marshall amp most of the time, and it sounds great. I do own a couple other Strats that seem extremely heavy compared to this one. But you can never replace a good ol' strat. If I had it stolen or lost, I'd either kill the burglar, or help with my mourning by buying a Fender VG.

It's Gibson Nighthawk, the small body with the pointy cutaway, Fender-like through body bridge, three pickups, five way switch and push-pull potmeter.
Mine is heritage cherry with a beautiful flamed maple top. I bought it for 600 Euro on a stand on the Vintage guitar gathering in September 2006 in Veenendaal The Netherlands, the price included a case.
The guitar has a lot of scratches and dings, the switch tip was not original, the nut needed replacing and the last owner replaced the original Pot knobs with Gibson Speed knobs which actually are a better choice because it's easier to pull the push-pull pot with those speed knobs than with the stock ones.

It's my first Gibson.

Having played a Strat for the longest time, the feel of the nighthawk was instantly familiar, the volume pot was where I was used to having it, the bridge felt familiar, the overall feeling of the guitar is more Fender than Gibson.

I use two Epiphone Les Pauls re-fitted with Seymour Duncan 59 pickups as my main guitars and I judge every other guitar on their sound. When played through distortion, the Nighthawk's Bridge humbucker sounds wooly in comparison to the bridge humbuckers of my two Lesters. I constantly reach for the tone pot trying to add a little more highs in the sound only to dind that it's already maxxed out. But when I tap the thing it becomes TOO bright and it instantly kills the grunt. This is frustrating.
The Fender-style settings on this guitar are really convincing although they sound wooly, missing sparkle.

In all the sound of this guitar is a little lackluster.

As I said before, the guitar had dings and bruises all over, the nut needed replacing and the tip of the switch and the volume and tone knobs had been replaced at one time, so it's not in it's original state.

I haven't brought this one to a gig yet and with it's sound issues it's rather doubtful that I ever will. I keep reaching for my two Epiphone Lesters which give me the sound that I'm used to.

So with that in mind I'll probably trade my Nighthawk in for a proper Gibson Les Paul someday.

I bought this guitar at a fair so no stuff about warranty whatsoever.

This guitar falls under the "If-I-want-a-Fender-I'll-buy-a-Fender" rule. Gibson has had plenty of models with which they tried to appeal to Fender players. (The Marauder, the S1, the Victory, the U2, the M3.) But the sound is close but no cigar, the nighthawk just doesn't have that something that would make it a winner in the sound department.

The same for the Gibson sounds, the sound is uninspiring and wooly

At least is plays really well.

I believe it has a flamed top finish with a Heritage Cherry for the color finish. The Body style is modeled after the Les Paul, with a more pointy cutaway. I'm not too sure what the bridge is. The Tuners are the Deluxe Special Gibson tuners. The neck is, i believe rosewood with dot inlays and about 20 something frets. I got a crappy gig bag with it. The pickups are an open coil, mini humbucker, and slanted humbucker. The 2 dials are speed dials for the master tone, and master volume. And it has a 5 way switch for the pickups.

Though it is true that this guitar has a colorful rainbow of sounds, the pick-ups aren't strong enough to reproduce the sound that we know and love from the Les paul, or SG, etc. It's good if you play jazz, or pop where the styles don't really need a strong heavy guitar. But when you try to rock out, this guitar just isn't the one. On all the settings of the guitar, I find that the sound that it makes is a bright sound. Just a nice crisp bright sound, that's not good if you're style is rock. I am currently using this guitar with a Fender JAM amp. The amp could be the reason why this guitar isn't the guitar I hoped for, or maybe it's because of the guitar itself. I like it for the versatility, but I dislike it because of the pick-ups.

I'm feeling generous today, so I gave it an eight. I really think that the guitar is way too small. It kinda looks ridiculous when I'm wearing it. It's also a bit dull. I got my model in a Heritage Cherry finish, but it still seems to bore me, even though it's modeled after the the Les Paul models. I bought it brand new for about $800 around 10 years ago. It's still works fine, and it's an okay looking guitar overall. I just wish it had more cool looking features. Maybe a pickguard like the LP's, or trapezoid pearl inlays instead of boring ol' dots. But since this IS a GIBSON guitar, it least you can rate this guitar is 7. But I gave it an eight, because I felt generous, like I said.

Since it is a Gibson guitar (and not one of the generic copy-cat brands) it has withstanded 10 years of playing at home and occasionally outside home. It doesn't seem to have any flaws in the woodwork, or anything else. The strap buttons are fine, I never have a problem with it. Always stays intact and strong.

Overall, I'd probably give it a seven. If your not fussy and picky like me, then you will enjoy this guitar to the fullest of your heart. But I like the SG's better in sound and looks (I just haven't had the money yet to own one). I just wish it had better pickups, and maybe a larger body.

I've owned my Nighthawk since I bought it new from Guitar Center in 1995. It was made in '95 and comes in a gold sparkle finish. The GC salesman told me that the gold was a limited edition run made exclusively for sale at GC. The guit looks beautiful in a simple way. The top of the body is done in a nice sparkle gold finish. It has one-ply, thick creme binding on the body. The rest of the guitar shows the plain mahogany. Mahogany body with maple cap.
Mine is the three pick up version Special. I was tempted by the more opulent Standard and Custom Nighthawk models. I think that the other models have a different neck shape/profile than my Special, but I could be wrong about this. I've heard it described as a 'round taper'?
The neck is sort of small and clubby, though comfortable enough. This model has no binding on the neck. Rosewood with mother of pearl dot inlays, 22 frets. Gold hardware. Made in USA. Thru body stringing. one volume, one tone, five way p.u. selector, plus coil tapping means a lot of tonal options. Mini bucker in the neck p.u., single coil in the middle. And, then there's the slanted bridge humbucker. I don't think I've seen a slanted humbucker like this one on any other non Nighthawk guitars. There's no classic Gibbo stop tailpiece. Instead,there's an all in one unit that's an interesting wedge shape, and is a little like a hardtail strat's bridge assembly.
So, we've got some non-traditional Gibson features here. I also think that this guitar has a Fender-like 25.5" scale length rather than the traditional Gibson 24.75", but I'm not entirely sure about that.

Now here is where all of sound options on tap here has let me down. I just haven't been able to get my core sound out of this guitar. With three different pick ups, a 5 way selector, and coil tapping, there is a lot at hand here in terms of different sound options. It can take a while to get a handle on everything on tap here. Especially for me, as I am usually a plug in and play type.

I think I like, not love, this guitar for anything but really heavy stuff. I've never warmed up as much as I thought I would to the neck mini humbucker. Sometimes I wished it had the mini bucker in the bridge setting. Actually, I think I saw some later Nighthawk models with two mini humbuckers as standard pick ups.
The single coil sounds are satisfying, but not stellar to me (at the time I first bought the guitar, I was best described as a comitted humbucker user and I am just now starting to appreciate single coils). I like the in-between sounds of position 2 and 4, especially combined with the coil tapping feature.
Ultimately, my core tone is usually from a humbucker in the bridge. I've never really warmed up completely to the slanted humbucker in the Nighthawk. It is good sounding and reasonably 'strat-ish' in single coil mode. However, in full humbucking mode....well, it's just sort of hollow-sounding to me. It doesn't roar like I want it to through a cooking, overdriven and/or distorted amp. And it gets sort of 'mushy' and indistinct with copious amounts of gain. I thought the slant shape of the bridge pick up might beef up and fatten up the bass response. But I don't find the sound of this pick up "fat" at all. Well, maybe a little fat, but also very loose-sounding and lacking focus. It's very ROUND and chewy to my ears, though sort of indistinct.

Well, it has taken me years to realize that there is a place for a guitar like this in my collection, a jack of all trades and such. But when I bought it, I hoped to be able to get a Gibson in the Les Paul ballpark. I just have never found it to sound or play like a Les Paul, except for jazzier or quieter moments.

A salesman at another store remarked to me that getting a Nighthawk seemed risky to him, because of the slanted bridge humbucker. He pointed out a concern for the pick-up's voicing, and noted that finding replacements of other pick up makers would probably be near impossible.
So, if I could change one thing about this guitar, I'd switch out the slanted p.u. and put in a traditional humbucker more to my taste.
Of course, I would never do this, as the slanted p.u is a central part to the whole mojo to this guitar.
So, there is a lot of variety of tone here on tap. But unlike many of the posters here, I would never comfortably play my style of metal or punk with this guitar. I've been very tempted to sell it in the past. But since my playing has branched out stylistically (more jazz and ambience), I think I'll give it another go round before I let her go.
There are times in the past when I liked playing this guitar more that I would have given it an 8. But until relatively recently, I would have given it a 6 or even a 5.

No complaints here. I do have finish problems near the bottom of the guitar where the paint is starting to crack. I've coddled the guitar, it's always been in my bedroom, and my other guitars are no worse for wear. Then again, it's more than 10 years old now.
But it remains a quality piece of kit. I've got a minor imperfection in the mahogany of the back of the neck that looks like a knot in the wood from certain angles. On the plus side, there is a beautiful, sparkly flame to the mahogany of the back of the neck and body when looked at straight on!It glows and shimmers in the light!!!
The only other problem was how the high E string sometimes gets stuck up on the middle single coil pick up when it's being played.

Solid.

I've had good expereince with Gibson. The one time I emailed them with a question about the features of my Les Paul, they replied within 24 hours. I wasn't sure that they would take the time, or have the time, to reply at all.

So, the overall rating I give it is a seven. It is really a quality instrument. However, the whole design philosophy of the pick ups doesn't totally work for me. I'd mainly like a more traditional sounding bridge humbucker. I remember that at one point, Gibson put out some Nighthawks with re-designed, much hotter bridge pick ups that ended up being standard on the Epiphone Nighthawk equivalent.

Obviously, some of you are able to really harness the slanted humbucker. Not me, at least not so far. Dont' get me wrong; it's a good guitar, solid workmanship, with intruiguing possibilites. But I think in retrospect that I would have been happier to spend the same money on another Gibson guitar. I've got an SG that does almost everything I need. Again, I'm more of a plug and play type player. I can get by with room to spare with the sounds out of most dual humbucker guitars. So, I don't think that I'm the type of player that the Nighthawk was aimed at.
But 'heavy' players be warned. Some people have said they can do metal with this model. I think many metal-ers would be better served with another model. Just be sure to play-test it yourself though a good sounding high gain system to see if you warm up to its voicings when used in the high gain realm.
I have been thinking about getting a new SG lately and selling the Nighthawk to help ease the pain of purchase. But I keep it for its potential as a fantastic studio tool.

I purchased this guitar from a friend and gave it to my wife as a gift. It's a 1994 3 pick up with a coil tapping push/pull tone control. It's relatively light compared to it's big brothers in the Gibson line and has a slightly smaller single cut body. This guitar can emulate the sounds and tones of the Fender Stratocaster, Fender Telecaster, Gibson Firebird, Gibson Les Paul, you name it. Nice set in slim taper rosewood neck, gold hardware, sunburst finish, and beautiful inlays on the finger board.

Sounds great through 50 watt, 6L6/12ax7 tube amp with celestion V30 speakers.

Gibson makes high quality instruments. This instrument is very well crafted with no noticable flaws in craftmanship.

It's a Gibson. It's built to last.

A very cool guitar. Lots of different sounds at your finger tips. Beautiful and sexy.

I won't bother repeating all the features, but versatility is the key to this guitar! I think of it as my Swiss Army Guitar!

It's got the H/S/H and 10-way coil tap switching.

Here I beg to differ a tad bit. Both my ex girlfriend and my now wife complain that this guitar has "no soul". There is something lacking that's hard for me to pinpoint. But it lacks the glassy round tones of my Japanese made Strat (with Texas Special p/u's), doesn't quite get the soulful deep twang of a decent Tele and misses the fullness and longer sustain of my Les Paul Studio. But after owning this guitar for several years, I suddenly dicovered that I truly like the "SuperStrat" setting on this guitar! That is pot tap switch pushed in, and forth position forward which gives you the full tone with a pleasant out of phase Strat sound, i.e. full humbucker at the bridge with the center single coil p/u kicking in. I had a mental aversion to the SuperStrat heavy metal guitar setting, so I had avoided it. Up til now, I had enjoyed the Tele setting the most, single bridge and single at the neck. But the SuperStrat setting has more body with some soulful twang. The thinness issue doesn't seem readily apparent in this setting. I'm trying to get my wife to cast a new vote. Too late to question the ex-girlfriend, however. Other comments mention it is a bit bright and that this indeed can simply be remedied by backing off the tone. I love the versatility of this guitars pickup settings, but I believe its tone misses more than it hits its mark, So I'm giving it a 7. Mind you, this is a 7 amongst middle to higher end guitars, not bargain guitars. I consider myself more of a guitar hobbyist than a true musician, so you may take my comments with a grain of salt, but I also own 19 guitars and know what sounds good to my ears.

I lowered the action a bit and messed with the intonation since it was tad bit high (neutral) for me from the factory. I believe the fit and finish is quite excellent, but I do not think that I am able to get the action quite as low without buzz or dead spots as I can achieve with a Les Paul style tune-amatic bridge. This bridge has adjustable strat style saddles. It's not as easy to try to play AC/DC's Thunderstruck with this action. It's more Strat-like.

Seems like a tough rig. I've had no visible loss of the gold plating! My Japanese made Fender Tele 90's custom had beautiful gold plated hardware that was wearing off within days of play. Not so with this guitar!

Haven't needed any support for my Gibsons

Even though I don't necessarily think this is the best sounding guitar I own, I drag it out more often than any other single guitar I own. It's a very comfortable guitar to play, small bodied, light-weight, ergonomically carved, nice feeling neck. I also like that it is four guitars in one, i.e. a Tele, a Strat, a Humbucking Gibson, and a SuperStrat. I own three Teles (one Japanese Fender 90's custom, one Peavey Reactor and a Fender 52 Reissue) a Japanese Fender Strat, Gibson Les Paul Studio 83 Custom Shop edition, Gibson ES-335 dot, ESP Eclipse, Japanese Fender Jazzmaster, Les Paul Junior Special, Ibanex Joe Satriani, Parker Fly Classic, Paul Reed Smith CE-22 Bolt (my best tone machine), Steinberger Spirit, and a Yamaha SG700S. Amps: Roland Jazz Chorus 120, Fender Twin Reverb, Fender Super 112, Fender Pro Junior and a Marshall Valvestate 80. American Music had some ridiculous list price on it (well over $1,000) so I thought I was getting a good deal at $800, but then I later found you could buy them any day of the week for around $600 mail order. Mine is a Special but it has a Fireburst finish (I think this finish was usually on the Standard). I fell in love with its looks and features one day when I was depressed and wandering in a music store, so emotional response over ruled the "research it and think about it" mode.

It's my buddy and I have no plans to let it go. Get one for the comfort and versatility. But if you want a Lester or a Strat, buy a Lester or a Strat.

In good shape for a 9 year old guitar but can't rate this category fairly because of it's age.

This review is a follow-up to one that I left in June 2001. At that time I owned a red Nighthawk Special 3 Pickup model and loved it. I reiterate -- this is the most versatile guitar I've ever owned.

Several months after I left the initial review, a player I respect very much convinced me that, even though the Nighthawk could closely emulate the tones of a Strat, a Firebird or a Les Paul, I was still better off getting the real deals. I sold the Nighthawk and bought a Hamer-USA Daytona (the BEST Strat-style axe ever) and a Hamer-USA Eclipse (mini-humbuckers like a Firebird but easier to carry). They both played and sounded great so I would go to rehearsals and gigs with both. Sometimes I would even bring along my Epiphone Riviera (ES-335) for full humbucker tones.

Guess what -- I hated lugging all those guitars around and I hated having to switch guitars every time I wanted different tones! The tonal difference wasn't worth the hassle. The Nighthawk was nearly as "clucky" as my favorite Strat P/U settings on the Daytona. It gave me better "Johnny Winter" Firebird tone from it's mini-humbucker than the Eclipse. And the bridge humbucker on the Nighthawk was hotter than the Duncan '59 I had in the Riviera for screamin' leads and great feedback.

What did I do? I sold the Daytona, the Eclipse and the Riviera and bought another Nighthawk Special! This time I got a black 1993 model -- the gold hardware and white binding look MUCH cooler on black than red (Heritage Cherry). I got a great deal because it had a headstock repair, some pretty decent scratches on the back, a crappy gig bag, and non-original tuning keys, truss rod cover, and tip on P/U selector. Actually the gold Yamaha tuning keys look and work better than the Klusons that Gibson used as original equipment for this model. I put black speed knobs, a black P/U selector tip and a black truss rod cover on it and it now looks AWESOME.

I think I'll hang onto this one. It's light and comfortable, the neck feels great in my hand, it looks great and, most importantly, it sounds fantastic. Once again - I highly recommend the Nighthawk Special 3 Pickup model for anyone who's looking for tonal variety and a quality axe.

Made in USA Gibson. Haven't checked the serial number to see date of manuf. You've seen the other reviews, so I'll not say too much about the features. H/S/H, with the mini-humbucker in the neck and the slant humbucker in the bridge. Most important thing is the combination of the push-pull tone pot and the 5-way switch. Good Lord, you can get almost any usable p'up configuration you could desire. Excellent wood, maple top, mahogany back, mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard, set neck. String through body. Came with a gig bag, but bought it used in a region with a crummy guitar market. We tend to get hosed here because there's only a couple of really good guitar shops within a 3 hour radius. I mean, the shops treat us well, but they're trying to make a living in a slim market, so they can't deal and haggle like in bigger cities. I really like the Hawk style/sized body. I'm a bit of a gadget freak, (aside from trem bridges) and the only thing stopping this from getting a 10 is I would love to hear what a Vari-tone would do to this baby.

The Nighthawk has a huge variety of sounds. I LOVE the out-of-phase strat sounds, sounds like the conventional strat SHOULD have sounded. I tend to play country, classic rock, southern rock, a little jazz and blues, elevator music, some punk, whatever I'm in the mood for. The only thing that I would really have trouble doing with this guitar would be metal/modern rap-rock sorta stuff, and that ain't my forte. Using the coil-tapped settings, yes, it's not as powerful as it might be with other pickups, but it's coil tapped for Pete's sake... get over it. I find it to have a nice balance between warm and bright tonality. I find it sustains much nicer than I would have imagined from it's smaller (than an LP) size. I'm especially fond of the definition/sparkle out of the neck mini-humbucker. This is one of the first guitars I've found that every p'up config sounds really good clean, and hence I've been playing a lot more clean stuff since I got it. I'm currently running it through an early 90's Fender M-80 Chorus. It sounds great clean through this amp, except for the bridge hb being a little muddy, but I think that this is more the amp than the guitar. Very few ways to make this amp sound good on the distortion channel (Fender solid state... not what it was built for), but this sounds as good as any of the previous contestants. (I'm saving up for a Mesa Nomad 45, but I'm a school teacher, so that may take a year or two. *grin*) It gets a 9 because it does have limitations, but for me personally, it's 10 all the way to tone heaven.

I bought it used, so I'm uncertain of factory set up. It was set up fairly well at the local shop where I bought it. I adjusted the truss rod and raised the action a hair (having strong country roots, I REALLY dislike fret buzz of ANY sort, and I have fat fingers, so my bending style requires a slightly higher action than most people I know... and I LIKE it that way.) Everyone complaining about the pickup adjustment and intonation... I just don't understand. That's why the man put those cute little screws/bolts everywhere... outside of truss rod adjustment (which I approach VERY carefully), I've never bought a quality guitar that I couldn't adjust myself, at home, with simple tools, in the space of about an hour. So some idiot set it up wrong... I'll set it up right, and quickly. The actual fit and finish, the stuff that cannot be easily corrected with a screwdriver, was excellent on this guitar. It's used, and it shows wear, but is still a beautiful guitar. The gold hardware worries me because my sweat could rust titanium. Other than that, no probs. The playability is magnificent. It feels like it was shaped to fit my own grubbly little fat hands at the factory.

I'm certain that this guitar will handle live playing (only used it on two gigs thus far), but it is a set neck with an angled head stock... take care of it. Don't let anyone drunker than yourself screw around with it... it's not a tank... it's wood glued together. Hardware seems pretty solid, no problems yet, but again, no gruelling tour schedule has taken its toll on it yet. Finish is beautiful, but probably will show more serious wear given time. Strap buttons are solid but SMALL. Using a cam/locking style strap at present. As for gigging without backup, I'm BIG into preparedness. I feel sorta funny driving down the interstate without a spare CAR in my pocket, so I don't think that would ever be an option. Not through any fault of the guitar, but of my own compulsions. I would feel safer throwing a Tele around, but for a much nicer finished (and more capable) guitar, I consider it tough enough.

Only a single email to the company, and it was answered within hours. I thought that was pretty good. Don't anticipate any need to deal with them on a regular basis.

I've been playing off and on since '87. Have only gigged sporadically because of some nasty stage fright. I have owned several Fenders, three other Gibsons, Yamahas, and a Hamer. Until recently, I've been pretty much a devoted Fender man, amps and guitars, but that's changing. If this were stolen, I'd hunt the b*st*rd down and kill him on simple principle (stealing a man's guitar is like knocking up his sister... it's not tolerated), but then I'd go looking high and low to try and find another. If I couldn't find another, I'd buy a Blueshawk. That's what I was originally looking for when I found this, but this guitar could cover so much ground and played so comfortably that I spent money I didn't really have at the time. I love the sounds possible and the versatility of the ax, I just wish it had come with a hardshell case. Gets a nine because it can't do everything perfectly, just most things perfectly and the rest really well.

10 This guitar is great. It features three pickups. A mini humbucker in the neck , single coil in the middle, slant humbucker in the bridge. One volume, one tone with pull feature. It has a 5 way pickup selector. Dot inlays. Heritage cherry finish. Gold hardware. Not sure about the bridge possibly a wilkinson.

This guitar is a dream come true. I've owned several guitars and none have the versatility of the nighthawk special. I use a Boss GT6 effects unit and play through a Peavey supreme half stack. I play top 40 rock in the vein of Staind, Fuel, Creed, Nickleback, Incubus, etc.. This guitar does it all and well. It can go from a sparkling clean Tele to Prs type crunch in nothing flat.

I bought this guitar used. It was already set up. So far i haven't found anything to be out of place, flawed, or out of adjustment.

This guitar will be my main axe only to be backed up by a fender hotrodded Peavey Predator.It seems to be very reliable and noteworthy. I will use it in the summer on tour.

n/a

I've been playing guitar for almost 30 years. Everything from country to blues to rock. This guitar can and does do it all. I've owned Gibsons, Fenders, Peaveys, Ibanez, Arias, G&L's, And even a custom made Warrior. This one says everything those others could and more. Very versatile.
