Gibson's Nighthawk returned to production last year as a limited run selection: CLICK
Subsequently, Epiphone featured the Nighthawk as regular production units earlier this year: CLICK
But come summer 2011, the Gibson Nighthawk is here to stay. For how long? I've no idea whatsoever. But the Nighthawk is one of those memorable Gibsons in my books because it features a single coil pickup, something which is not a Gibson staple. Well, the manufacturer dared to consider this inclusion because the Nighthawk is 25.5"; it's the most appealing scale length for that unmistakable single coil snap. Now you know why Fender keeps it within this scale length- it's done for a reason.

still looks like a monstrosity lol
many people are of the opinion that it mimics the Les Paul too much with a certain twist in design that rnders it quirky... :-/
i'm ok with a few changes here and there...but this just LOOKS quirky lol. its purely the looks that draws me away from this thingy. of cos there's also the fact that i cant play anything other than rhythm on lespauls, i use them as i do acoustics: strum and croak hehehe
if only it looked a little less fat...
