Epiphone (Gibson) Nighthawk ST3

REDUCED BY €100 on original listing.

Get a Strat or get a Les Paul?
Each has its strengths but using 2 guitars at a gig is a hassle. Gibson's answer was to put both into one guitar. A 2-way switch easily shifts between Strat and Les Paul setups.

In Strat mode, it has the 3 single coil pickups with angled bridge pickup and standard 5 position switching, including the neck+mid and mid+bridge switch positions.

In Les Paul mode, it has humbucking neck and bridge pickups for thicker sounds.

The construction is very solid, physically closer to a Les Paul in feel but lighter. The wood and hardware has a quality feel including a very nice natural wood grain.

The neck pickup has been changed by the previous owner to a Gibson USA HB-R "The Original" (Bill Lawrence) pickup . Sonically this adds more neck tonal range with humbucking and split single coil options. However the mounting ring is plastic, when a brass/metal one would have looked better. Easily remedied but thought it worth mentioning.

The result is a diverse range of quality sounds from a single guitar. Have a quick search on sites like Reverb and read many users complementing this guitar's tonal range and build.
