What makes this guitar special:  The Nighthawk has been a favorite of a wide range of players since its introduction in 1993, thanks to its seamless blend of traditional Gibson quality with several clever modern design features. The Nancy Wilson Nighthawk Standard takes the format a major leap forward with a highly figured AAA-Grade maple top dressed in a high-gloss nitrocellulose Fireburst finish with Cherry back and neck.  It retains all the distinctive ingredients that made the Nighthawk stand out initially, including the 25 ½” scale length for firm lows and chiming highs, the comfortable body contours, through-body stringing and unique Nighthawk bridge, and the superb versatility of the pairing of Nighthawk Mini-humbucker and Nighthawk Lead humbucker, with five-way switching for a range of humbucking and single-coil combinations. Cosmetic Condition:  Excellent condition - very clean & like new with only mild surface scratches.Neck:  Solid, quarter-sawn, mahogany neck with a 25 ½” scale length, glued into the body and carved in a comfortably rounded profile that measures 0.818” at the 1st fret and 0.963” at the 12th. Bound fingerboard made from solid rosewood, inlaid with double parallelogram position markers. A 1 5/8" Corian nut cut on Gibson’s computer-controlled PLEK helps to ensure optimum sustain and precise intonation.  Vintage-style "Gibson Deluxe" tuners with 14:1 tuning ratio in perfect working condition.  There’s a commemorative truss-rod cover hot stamped with “Fanatic,” neck is straight & truss rod is in perfect working condition.Body:  The body follows the Nighthawk’s stylized take on Gibson’s legendary Les Paul, with a deeper cutaway, a ribcage contour for enhanced playing comfort, and a longer scale length for a broader voice. Its top is made from highly figured AAA-Grade maple, and its back is solid mahogany.  The heart of the guitar's superb resonance and sustain is found in its through-body stringing and rock-solid Nighthawk bridge. The bridge, strap buttons, and vintage-style “Gibson Deluxe” tuners are all gold plated, as are the pickup’s mounting rings and neck pickup cover. Amber “top-hat” knobs lend an air of Gibson tradition and the guitar wears no pickguard to obscure the beauty of its highly figured top.  Guitar weighs 7 lbs 8.5 oz.Electronics:  Split-coil Nighthawk Mini-Humbucker and Nighthawk Lead Humbucker pickups in the neck and bridge positions.  Much of the guitar's versatility comes from its superbly powerful yet musical pickups. The Mini-Humbucker in the neck position offers a rich, throaty growl, but with plenty of definition; the Lead Humbucker in the bridge position is primed for everything from mammoth crunch to articulate, singing lead tones, yet you merely have to flip the five-way selector switch to tap brighter single-coil sounds, and a range of other tones. Master tone and volume controls make for easy on-the-fly adjustments.  All electronics are in perfect working condition.Case:  Original hardshell case included with original paperwork.
