Nighthawk Owners Club

I know there must be some other Nighthawk owners out there (well, at least one other . . . right, Nighthawk?) . . . let's see 'em all . . . whether plain Hawks, Landmark Series, SP, SP3, ST, ST3, CST or CST3 . . .

Here's my Nighthawk ST3 in translucent amber, with 3 pups and 10 different pickup combos; one of the most versatile guitars around IMHO. Though not a Tele in any way, it does have through the body stringing and a 25.5" scale length. The Gibson model for Fender fans . . . .

Here's another Nighthawk, that I just sold . . . this one's an SP3 . . . . same as an ST3, with different fret markers, no fretboard binding and no headstock inlay, and maybe slightly lower grade top, but otherwise plays and sounds the same as the Standard.

You betcha, they're welcome! Nothing in the description mentioned Gibson-only . . . . and according to most Craigslist sellers, Epiphones are Gibsons, right? Well, even though they aren't really Gibsons, this is the Nighthawk club, no restrictions as to manufacturer. And it's not like it's too crowded here or anything . . . .

Nice looking 'hawk you got there . . . . That's a really purty burst . . . .

... off of CL for $750, which I think is a good deal. I will go to pick it up Saturday.

I play in a '70s funk-cover band (EWF, Prince, Kool & the Gang) and am hoping this does some of the single-coil fun I'm looking for.

I will let you know and post pics next week.

PS- Working on a new Nashville Power Tele as well, so I haven't gone COMPLETELY over to the dark side ...

Peace.

Yes, that is a good deal, especially if you got the original Gibson hardshell case with it. It is hard to find any other case that really properly fits a nighthawk. The case with the red one in the second post in this thread kind of worked, but not really.

The red one above sold on ebay for $1030, so I'd say you did real well.

...I love the 2-pup version,and played the crap out of it when I bought it in '93 or so...

...I wonder if there are any parts floating around,specifically a pickup switch assembly...

...any knowledge???...

I've seen one ebay seller who has, in the past at least, always offered the slanted humbucker at an outrageously high price, but I haven't seen anyone offering the switch itself. The new Nighthawk just issued by Gibson has only the 2 humbucker configuration, though very different pickups, but dont know whether the switch would work for ya, or even whether it can be ordered separately.
