Gibson Nighthawk Standard ST-2 + OHSC w/ shroud - 1996 Trans Amber 26317
Description
Up for sale is a 1996 Gibson Nighthawk Standard ST-2 in beautiful Trans Amber. Great playing and cosmetic condition. Weight = 7lbs, 6oz.
Condition
This guitar has been very well treated in its 30 years of life. Minimal wear/tear. Has a shallow scratch on back (see pics). Otherwise, only reason I didn't class this "excellent" is basic aging to the finish, like scuffing, clouding, nothing big enough to show up in pics (if you have any questions, ask before buying). Frets in very good condition. All electronics work and sound great. Gold hardware is in pretty good condition with some fading around the pickups.
Playability
Very light and comfortable to hold. Plays great all over the neck. The mini-humbucker and slanted humbucker pickups allow for different tones than the usual Gibson. All original except for a decorative covering on the electronics cover and one pots was replaced with a CTS. Gibson case in great shape with two case keys. I have just gone through and completely detailed this guitar. I do a full cleaning and setup on all guitars. International contact for quote. Thanks!
Recent Review:
"Guitar was packed perfectly for shipping. Everything arrived exactly as described. A lot of care and attention was put into the setup (intonation is perfect). Seller was nice enough to include some extras. Excellent seller! Thank you so much!"
Guitar Setup
Setup includes new strings (9s or 10s depending on what the nut is cut for), overall polish, clean and oil fingerboard. We spray out any pots that are noisy, turn the truss rod (if necessary) and set string height at low-to-medium action depending on string buzz present. We do a basic setup since setup is highly subjective you may want to get it set to your particular needs by your personal luthier anyway. Thanks!
Packing
Search "How to Pack a Guitar + Hot Girls" on YouTube for a video showing how I pack. I use quality boxes, thick bubble wrap, and peanuts to pack guitars. I have been doing this 15 years and know how to pack well--with or without a hard case. You can also read my packing blog post on my StillKickinMusic website. If you Google "Still Kickin - How to Pack a Guitar" you will find it. Thanks.
