Members veil Posted September 8, 2009 Members Share Posted September 8, 2009 I don't dig it Maybe that's because everything Gibson has released in the past 5 years has been a guaranteed {censored}ing monstrosity.

Members costch Posted September 8, 2009 Author Members Share Posted September 8, 2009 I think that a reasonably priced (Gibson doesn't know the meaning of those words) Blueshawk Reissue would be much more appreciated. What a crazy notion that is. Gibson doing something right, that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pedmands Posted September 8, 2009 Members Share Posted September 8, 2009 I once had an Epi Nighthawk Standard from 98 and it was ugly as all hell, but it played like a dream. Almost wasn't worth being seen with it. Almost Like a fat chick who gives heavenly head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members costch Posted September 8, 2009 Author Members Share Posted September 8, 2009 Maybe that's because everything Gibson has released in the past 5 years has been a guaranteed {censored}ing monstrosity.Dear Gibson, you {censored}ed up what made the Hawk series cool, which was one of the following:a solid body with P-90s and a Bigsbya hardtail with crazy awesome pickup combination. I'm one of those people who kind of likes the Zoot Suit SG and Raw Power guitars, but would never actually buy one unless it was on sale/used for a rather low price. Otherwise, I agree.

Members goaway Posted September 8, 2009 Members Share Posted September 8, 2009 i got a chance to play a blueshawk before i actually knew what one was or had any knowledge about gear. i wish i did though i wish they would reissue it though, seems like a really cool guitar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 1DZReverendDavidLee Posted September 8, 2009 Members Share Posted September 8, 2009 The one I owned had 3 pups. I guess I had the Nighthawk Special. Too bright sounding for my tastes at the time and that's why I sold it. Seems like I paid around $700 - $800 for mine at the time and it was brand new. Found this photo on the internet - looks exactly like the one I owned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
