The Gibson Nighthawk was a very forward-thinking guitar when it was first introduced in 1993. Essentially, it combined the lower bout and thin body of an SG with the stout, curvy upper bout of a Les Paul and a 25 1/2" scale. What really made it unique was its pickup combination, which included Gibson's NHT bridge position humbucker, mounted on a slant, together with a single-coil middle pickup and a mini-humbucker in the neck position. If guitarists wanted replacement pickups for the unique Slant NHT humbucker, their options were extremely limited.Now, guitarists who originally dismissed the Nighthawk as too "different" are recognising what a great guitar it really is. That's why Gibson's Epiphone division is introducing the Nighthawk Custom Reissue.
