Description
Very rare 1998 Gibson Blues Hawk with Bigsby vibrato. In very good condition, minor scratches on back and one ding ( see photo ). Plays great, sounds great, set up with Daddario .010's.....comes with hard shell case and VIBRAMATE STRING SPOILER on the Bigsby.The Gibson Blueshawk has become quite popular with players in recent years. Discontinued by Gibson awhile ago, this guitar has taken on a life of its own thanks to its distinctive tone and innovative design. Semi hollow and capable of a wide range of sounds. From traditional Gibson to trademark Fender timbres, this guitar can do it. Made in the USA to the highest standards of quality. The semi hollow body is made of poplar with a maple cap. This combo allows it to achieve more high end than typical Gibson designs. The long 25.5 inch scale mahogany neck features a rosewood fingerboard with diamond inlays. The real fun is the pickups and electronics. Blueshawks feature the highly regarded Blues 90 soapbar. This pickup is similar to a traditional P-90 but has Alnico 5 polepieces that impart quick response and a complex top end. These pickups are integrated with a clever dummy coil system for noise canceling. The fun doesn't end there though as the pickups are hooked to Varitone circuit that allows you to filter out more low end frequencies. The result is a ton of tones in one guitar. This is a super rare version with a factory Maestro branded Bigsby tailpiece and tuneomatic. A very cool guitar that excels in many different music genres.I only ship in the U.S.Please see my feedback and bid with confidence.Thanks for looking.
