Who is Waxx?
The French musician Waxx is an artist, music producer and social media influencer with over a million followers, but above all he is a guitarist, and the guitar is at the centre of almost everything he does. Waxx embodies the connection between timeless rock'n'roll culture and modern digital society. His fanbase has steadily grown thanks to numerous collaborations and innovative cover songs. Today he hosts the online show FanZine and showcases his talent on stage. With his energy, creativity and timeless rock'n'roll spirit, Waxx embodies the spirit of modern French music. When it comes to gear, Waxx is a big fan of Gibson guitars and Marshall amps.
Rare Gibson model as inspiration
One of his favourite guitars is his old Gibson Nighthawk in Pelham Blue. Compared with classics like the Les Paul, SG and ES-335, the Nighthawk is a relatively unknown model, but it enjoyed particular popularity in the 1990s. Now Epiphone and Waxx have teamed up to create the new Epiphone Waxx Nighthawk Studio, which is significantly more affordable than the original Gibson Nighthawks.
Versatility and modern looks
The Epiphone Waxx Nighthawk features a mahogany body and neck, an Indian laurel fretboard, a GraphTech nut, an unusual-for-Gibson 25.5" scale length and a hardtail Nighthawk bridge that runs through the body. A Waxx logo adorns the back of the headstock, another is engraved on the truss-rod cover. A plain truss-rod cover and vinyl stickers selected by Waxx are also included. The Waxx Nighthawk Studio is powered by two Epiphone ProBucker humbuckers, and a push/pull master tone control allows coil-splitting of both pickups for even more tonal flexibility. The model, like Waxx's original, is finished in Pelham Blue. A hardshell case for secure transport is also included.

Für das neue Jahrzehnt hat man bei Epiphone einiges umstrukturiert. Die preiswerten und einzigen offiziellen Nachbauten von Gibson Gitarren, erscheinen ab sofort als Teil der Inspired By Gibson Collection und befinden sich von den Spezifikationen her näher am Original. Dem jahrelangen Wunsch der Community nach Annäherung an die berühmte Open-Book-Kopfplatte von Gibson, ist man mit der neuen Kalamazoo-Kopfplatte nachgekommen, die sich stark am Vorbild orientiert. Laut Gibson hat man außerdem die gesamte Serie nach alten Bauplänen redesigned. Neben einigen neuen Bauteilen wie Graph Tech Nuts und die in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Gibson Custom Shop entwickelten Deluxe Tuner wurden besonders die elektronischen Bauteile erheblich verbessert, wodurch sich jetzt beispielsweise CTS Potis in den Gitarren finden. Auch die Pickups wurden generalüberholt. Die Grundplatte und Abdeckungen von Epiphones ProBucker werden aus 18% Neusilber gefertigt, die gleiche Legierung die auch bei Gibson während der Erfindung des Humbuckers verwendet wurde. Durch diese Verbesserung liefern die Tonabnehmer einen transparenteren und klareren Sound.
When you think of Epiphone , you immediately think of Gibson, as the manufacturer of guitars, basses, amplifiers and accessories has been part of the company since 1957. Epiphone mainly offers instruments from the low to mid-price segment. This means that beginners also have the opportunity to buy electric guitar and bass classics such as Les Paul, SG, Explorer, Firebird, ES-335 or Thunderbird for little money. There are also instruments from the old days of Epiphone, Casino, Wildkat, Riviera and Wilshire. Beginners should take a closer look at Epiphone 's entry-level sets in the areas of electric guitar, western guitar and electric bass.
