Epiphone Nighthawk Custom Reissue, Fireburst

Full Description

In one of the twists that has helped to make the Nighthawk range unique since its introduction in 1993, however, this neck is scaled to the longer 25 1/2" for added high-end jangle and ultra-tight lows, just part of the package that makes the Nighthawk perfect not only for rock and blues, but for pop, country and everything else besides.

Taking all this tone electric is a trio of specialized pickups that provide unparalleled versatility between them. A slanted NHT humbucker in the bridge position provides thick, creamy, crunchy tones, while being splittable for singl-coil twang; an NSX single-coil pickup in the middle combines for funky "out-of-phase" tones or provides snappy sounds on its own; and an NHR mini-humbucker in the neck position serves up smooth, vocal warmth with impressive clarity.

Routed through a five-way switch and a push-pull Tone control, this pickup set provides an astounding 9 unique tones from this chameleon-like guitar, allowing the Nighthawk Custom Reissue to tap any tone under the sun. And it does it all with supreme resonance and sustain thanks to its through-body stringing, with strings' ball-ends anchored in individual ferrules in the back of the guitar's body. A versatile Nighthawk bridge provides six individual saddles, all independently adjustable for height and length, allowing perfect adjustment of both action and intonation so your guitar plays and feels as great as it looks and sounds. Quality Grover tuners with kidney buttons keep tuning tight, and look great alongside the elegance of the guitar's Grade-AAA flamed maple veneer top and genuine mother-of-pearl "crown" fingerboard inlays, all complemented by your choice of four great translucent finishes.

Each Nighthawk Custom Reissue includes a full owner's manual and adjustment literature, a 10' cord, truss-rod wrench, and an Epiphone poster and bumper sticker.
