EPIhawk

The good people of Epiphone are now offering us the Nighthawk in the Epiphone manifestation. This is new (2011) so all updates on availability & prices to be doine here in time to come. I still find the slanted bridge humbucker disturbing; say you dislike the tone, which other off-the-shelf pickup comes in a slanted format? Nevertheless, the guitar is still worth checking out.

Ditto, too much going on at the pickup department. Still deserves an audition though.

how abt swapping out the bridge for 2 single coils instead of a standard humbucker(rails prhaps)?? that way we dun have to worry abt them not fitting =P

interesting... in that case, we need to see if the cavity underneath could accommodate that tinkering :-)

When i was teen , i had the chance to play one after local musician Marcus Wong from Vertical Rush gave it high praise for its versatility. Plugged in and i was in Jazzland!
