For me, it's all about three things: the neck pickup, the neck itself, and the ease of play of this little beast. The neck pickup is a Firebird humbucker, which produces a great, bluesy, jazzy tone. I play it through a Rivera Chubster and get a wonderful rich tone. It is distinctive, and I like that, because it doesn't sound like every other Gibson out there. Some say that the pickup is a tonal monster that won't clean up, but I've lowered it from the strings, which has solved that problem. The neck is a typical Gibson bound fret board, which I find much better to play than any Fender Strat. It is a great little guitar that has fast action and is very easy to play. I prefer it to the full archtop for a good range of jazz and blues use. If you find one, try it. You might just love it. I paid $825 for my Nighthawk. Worth more, for sure.
