Description
The Gibson/Fender rivalry has been going on since Leo first introduced his solid body electric back in the early '50s. Over the years, both companies have come up with designs that somewhat resemble each others. Although the Nighthawk has a definite Gibson "look" about it, the nut width, scale length & slanted bridge pickup are more Fenderish. Featuring a contoured solid mahogany body with a beautiful flame maple top, this gorgeous Standard offers a mini neck humbucker & full-size bridge humbucker, both delivering warm, rich tones. Professionally set up with fresh strings & low action, so it plays & sounds great!
