not quite "how to make your own BluesHawk" - but a summary of what makes it one of Gibson's most distinctive guitars...the ingredients | P90 pickups >>>>>> Blues 90 pickups | | Varitone - an idea imported from the Gibson ES series | | Dummy coil designs - a way of significantly reducing hum without using humbucking pickups |
the influences | 335 style guitars - although the techniques involved in construction are quite different, the end result is similar in tone and "atmosphere" | | Telecaster Thinline - tone cavities and f-holes - a similar construction concept | | Les Paul - the basic body shape owes a great deal to the Les Paul - compact and bijou - the BluesHawk is however a very light guitar |
the concepts | small | | light | | versatile - at least 18 basic sounds | | single-coil & humbucker characteristics | | "acoustic" character to sound | | unique styling with both classic/retro and modern styling features | | simple to use |
