Near mint 1996 Gibson Nighthawk Landmark Series in black/Sequoia Red burst.. All gold hardware. Only flaws are some light pick scratches, light patina on the hardware from storage, and a small ding in the middle of the back as shown in the picture. Very minimal fret wear, the neck has a fracture but has been professionally repaired for over 20 years never a problem after the repair Comes with non original hard shell case, also in excellent condition.You will be very hard pressed to find a better example.The Nighthawk series was a set of guitars produced by Gibson from 1993 to 1998 that shared thin, single cutaway bodies and set necks. The Landmark series of Nighthawks was a special limited run of guitars with special colors meant to represent national monuments and parks. This one is California Sequoia Red. They featured a pair of Gibson mini humbuckers, gold Fender-style hardtail bridges, and dot inlays. Here's a description from another site that I couldn't improve upon:The Landmark Series Nighthawk features 2 M-Series mini humbuckers instead of a mini humbucker and slanted humbucker. The neck is set at the 16th fret and with the shape of the neck heel, this allows for easy access to the higher registers. This guitar also features a 25.5” scale length. This is a beautiful sounding guitar thanks to the mini humbuckers and the neck and body make it extremely comfortable!Body: Solid contoured mahogany body with a bound maple top in Sequoia Red burst finish. String-through-body design with gold bridge and six individual saddles. Skirted control knobs and a slider switch.Neck: Super comfortable and well-rounded mahogany neck with a rosewood fingerboard. Pearloid dot inlays and a 1 5/8” nut. Gibson Deluxe tuners with ivoroid buttons, 25.5” scale length.Pickups/Electronics: M-Series mini humbuckers in the neck and bridge with master volume control, push/pull tone control and a 3-way selector switch.Neck: 14.81K Ohms.Bridge: 14.65K Ohms.Weight: 6lbs, 14.0oz
