Brad W. Traweek's 1983 Nighthawk (Clear Red)

Here's a 1983 Nighthawk finished in exceedingly rare clear red. The Nighthawks and Skyhawks are, IMHO, G&L's best overall Str*t-style guitars - when paired with something like an old Fender amp, look out, 'cause tone heaven awaits!! ;-) Dale Hyatt provided Vintage Guitar columnist Paul Bechtoldt with some finish figures on the Nighthawks - and Dale's figures indicate that just two red Nighthawks were made. This particular guitar has a nonoriginal pickup selector switch.

The Nighthawk is a "rarebird"; for more information on this model, check out the Registry section on this page.
