Rare Gibson model as a model
One of his favorite guitars is his old Gibson Nighthawk in Pelham Blue . The Nighthawk is a relatively unknown model compared to the classic Les Paul, SG and ES-335, but it was particularly popular in the 90s. Now Epiphone and Waxx have teamed up to develop the new Epiphone Waxx Nighthawk Studio , which is significantly cheaper than the original Gibson Nighthawks.
Versatility and modern look
The Epiphone Waxx Nighthawk features a mahogany body and neck , an Indian laurel fretboard , a GraphTech nut, an unusual 25.5" scale length for Gibson 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 blank truss rod cover and Waxx-selected vinyl decals are also included. The Waxx Nighthawk Studio is powered by two Epiphone ProBucker humbuckers, and a push/pull master tone - controls allows coil splitting of both pickup if desired for even more tonal flexibility . The model , like the original from Waxx, is painted in Pelham Blue. A hard-shell case for safe transport is also including .

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.
