Studio hawk

Maybe the Gibson people came to their senses & decided to offer us an arguably affordable guitar without too much compromise- the Nighthawk Studio. Please do NOT approach this guitar with a Les Paul expetation because the dimensions & weight are all removed from the former spec. The fretboard you see above might look like a reosewood make but it's actually maple which had undergone a special tinting/ heating process to make it look like that. The manufaturer calls it torrified maple. Interesting, yes? Looking forward to have a go at it- if it ever makes it here.

most probably the same but it's the manufacturer's way to differentiate it :-)
