Lightweight, comfortable, great looking and amazingly versatile, the Epiphone Nighthawk sets itself apart from the pack. Introduced by Gibson in 1993 the Nighthawk's dare-to-be-different looks are mirrored in this Epiphone version The Nighthawk's beauty is far more than skin deep. Under the hood this guitar is loaded for versatility and performance. The unique Nighthawk pickup package of a bridge humbucker, a single-coil in the middle, and a mini-humbucker in the neck yield a mind-boggling array of tones through a five-way switch and push-pull coil taps, allowing you to access anything from classic fat, creamy Les Paul tones to spikier single-coil-style jangle and chime. The unique through-body Nighthawk bridge provides outstanding sustain and resonance, while the guitar's 25-1/2" scale length adds extra shimmer and sparkle to the brew, and gives you a firm low-E string for gnarly low-down blues runs and biting twang.

Super neck and playability. Tuning is good. Intonation can be set up perfectly. Pick ups are not very good. Will be switching them out at some point. Picked it up in a trade. Small body is actually great when used to it.

Great beginner guitar. Bit ugly due to Long neck, weird pickup arrangement, odd bridge, and small body. Got it used, great guitar for recording, practicing. First ever electric guitar. I've improved a lot. Love it???Bit of fret buzz, but great sound. Recommend to anyone, although it takes getting used to

I fell in love with the trans amber finish but was impressed with how well it played (after a little tweak from Brent). The thing I like most is the pickup selection and the coil splitter. You can get strat and tele sounds with the right configuration. No need to take more than one guitar on a gig. The wiring quality was not the best but after replacing the volume pot (under warranty) this has turned out to be the best value buy I have made in a long time!

Excellent player with great looks. Stock pups are decent sounding. Well manufactured with no bleed in the finish. Full binding including the fingerboard. Crown inlays. Solid feeling electronics. No noise at high gain. Versatile tone including strat sounding single coil and SG sounding bucker tone. Excellent sustain and sympathetic harmonic resonance with set-thru neck and ferrule loaded thru-body bridge. Definately worth a trip to tire kick this one - and bring 4 bones, 'cuz you're likely to bite. I did. Love it. Actually like it better than the original '93s. Amazing value especially at this price point! I prefer it as an alternative to an SG.

I was anxious to get my new flameburst Nighthawk. It looked great at first glance but it had a flaw on the neck and it was obvious that it had been sanded down. It felt rough and odd to play with because of that. Also, the stings buzzed while I played open chords. I returned it and traded it in for an SG.

this guitar is unbelievable right out of the box I was knocked out. I got the fireburst it has a perfect finish the crown inlays give it a style of its own. the tone of the pickups and multiple combinations possible with the 5 way switch and coil tap boggle the mind and just ring and chime. this is an extreemly versital guitar and a steal at $410

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
