Superhawk vs F-100

[len]

I had a Superhawk years ago and would love to get hold of one again. There's a used one on Ebay, but I'm not trusting the guitar isn't messed up somehow (neck crooked, etc...). It looks like G&L is offering an F-100 again. The f-100 looks close to the Superhawk (different trem and controls), but I can't tell if the pups are P90 size or standard humbucker size. Can anyone clue me in?

welcome aboard. if you had a Superhawk, liked it, and want that sound again, then you should probably look around and get a good used one. they're still undervalued so you don't have to break the bank either. the new F-100 isn't a "real" reissue but it does sport Leo's humbucking pickups, though i think they might be built and sound different from the originals? the ones i've seen have looked very nice though. two other things to consider, your Superhawk probably had a thin neck which would be typical for that era and which is not generally the case with BBE-era guitars, and Leo-type humbuckers which are bright sounding, will sound very different from the Schaller humbucker's the Superhawk would have come with. happy hunting!
