Any other Blueshawk owners out there? Since I could not find an owners club thread already here, it seems as good a time as any to start one. Show us your Blueshawks. Here's mine, a 1997 model:

wow

i like this one over the nighthawk (looks department)

nvilletele · October 6th, 2009, 05:21 PM

Then you should check out this website . . . tons of great info on the blueshawk, as well as lots on the nighthawk family . . .

Still no one else has got a Blueshawk . . . ?

They're great guitars, and with 25.5" scale length and string-through-body setup, Tele players should love 'em . . . .

I like these better than the Nighthawk.

What does the chicken head do? Is it a Varitone of some sort?

Thanks

AjayTele · June 22nd, 2010, 11:15 PM

Yep, I have a Blues Hawk...

It's a nice thing indeed!

Yes, it is exactly that: a Varitone. Not sure if there is more than one kind, but this is a Varitone.

I just wish they would reissue this model.

I have one. And a Nighthawk. And a Little Lucille.

I'll try to get some pics up soon. Love them to death. Very, very fine instruments!

nvilletele · April 1st, 2011, 11:36 PM

Yeah, they're so nice. I'd love to see those pics if you've got them . . . especially the Little Lucille. I've also got a Nighthawk, but the Lucilles are harder to find.

I think Nighthawks are the closest thing to a Fender that Gibson has ever made. This Landmark Nighthawk can do just about everything a tele can, except the bridge PU sound. (Found that out when I got a Tele.) But with the mini humbuckers, it can make some sounds that the tele can't, without loading the tele with a humbucker, that is.

Pops -

Very nice Landmark series 'hawk you got there . . . but you should post that up in the Nighthawk club thread . . . here: http://www.tdpri.com/forum/guitar-ow...ners-club.html

This one's the Blueshawk club . . . . (not that we dont love Nighthawks as well . . . I've got an ST3, posted over at that other thread).
