About this listing
We were all pleasantly surprised by this 2011 Gibson Nighthawk. I immediately noticed how cool the gold finish looks - the way it sits on the mahogany and shows off the grain. It has some killer tone, plays perfectly, and it is super light and comfortable to play.The Gibson Nighthawk is one of the company's most unconventional solid-body guitars — designed with the 25.5" Fender-scale length, string-through bridge with individual saddles, and slim neck profile to produce a guitar that none of the other Gibson solid-body electrics sound like. The 2011 Studio version distills the Nighthawk concept to its essentials: solid mahogany body with glued-in quarter-sawn mahogany neck carved to a SlimTaper profile, topped with a torrefied baked maple fingerboard — a heat-treated hardwood that the spec sheet describes as super sturdy and clear-sounding.The goldtop finish on an all-mahogany body with no maple cap is a visual choice that references Les Paul Custom tradition while delivering a different tonal character — warmer, drier, and more midrange-focused than a maple-topped Les Paul - king of like an SG. At 6 lbs 9.5 oz it is considerably lighter than a standard Les Paul.The guitar is all original with no repairs or issues. It set up easily with little effort and plays perfectly. There is room in the truss rod for future neck relief adjustments.Action set at 2/32" on both strings at the twelfth fret. Excellent condition overall with very good finish. The frets show very little wear. Original Gibson premium gig bag included.Mahar's Vintage Guitars is a brick-and-mortar and web-based retailer.
